Deputies with the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office first responded to the scene. However, BPSO says Louisiana State Police has taken over the investigation. LSP says the investigation has now been turned over to the FBI.

This church is also listed as the business address for Onward Christian Counseling Services, which is owned by Kelly Johnson. Kelly is the wife of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who is from northwest Louisiana.


KSLA

Word is a suspicious package with a powdery white substance was sent to the church, addressed to Kelly Johnson and several people are sick. I imagine a full sweep of the church is underway.

Will update thread as more details come out. Everyone seems to be pretty tight-lipped at the moment. I drove by myself and it was quite a scene.

Somehow this will not be considered a hate crime even though it was sent to a church.

When I read the post title I thought it was a lawfare/gestapo type deal.

Same.

I figured the IRS had raided the church to look at the books.

I really hope this is just local/internet rumor running wild and there's no truth to this. At the very least the "several people are sick" part.

Gonna see if anyone I'm close with knows anything they can tell me

TBH, doesn’t mean much yet.

You put someone in a high stress situation and they probably start puking when the adrenaline wears off.

Hell, they should probably be on their guard about the FBI snooping around there because of this "incident."

Biden and Mayorkis let Chinese operatives pour across the border with unchecked shite in their backpacks and somehow we wonder why? This is just the beginning.

Same. What a shitty time that my first guess is the FBI is terrorizing republicans.

Be careful what you write about this. The first amendment ain't what it used to be.

What did I write that should make me concerned exactly? I shared a link to the news story and am relaying what I have heard from multiple sources.
