A large-scale investigation is underway in Boulder after a threatening letter was sent to a Jewish center in Boulder with a harmless white powder inside and two suspicious packages were found nearby.

The events started when employees at the Jewish Community Center, located on the 3800 block of Kalmia Avenue, opened the envelope at 8:30 a.m. The letter said “You have enemies.”

There were about a dozen preschool children in the building at the time, along with staff.

The Boulder County Health Department and a hazmat team responded to the incident, and an office where the letter was opened was isolated and the two employees kept safe. Everyone else was evacuated.

Those two employees were then medically treated by an ambulance crew.[…]

Sheriff’s officials said that while they were searching the area two packages were found and they are being called suspicious. A bomb squad was investigating them at noon.

The threatening letter had a local return address authorities said officers were sent to that location to check it out.

The FBI and a postal inspector are assisting police with their investigation.
