Linton Hall on the campus of Michigan State University has gone into "full lockdown" since a package containing a white powder was found in the mail room at about 2:00 p.m. this afternoon.
Employees in the building were stripped and sprayed down with a diluted bleach solution, then sent to a local hospital.
A captain of the university's Department of Police and Public Safety told a News47 reporter that a representative of the University's Office of Radiation, Chemical and Bilogical Safety found evidence that indicated that the package may have been sent by "an animal rights group."
