Suspicious letters prompt hazmat responses at 2 Cook County government buildings

Two suspicious letters containing what appeared to be white powder prompted hazmat responses Thursday at separate government buildings in downtown Chicago, while federal authorities investigate a series of similar mailings. The first incident occurred at the Cook County Building on Clark Street, where a letter addressed to Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas triggered a hazardous materials response.
