Sgt. Wade Betters with the Bangor Police Department told the newspaper that there is no perceived threat to the public.

“Members of our Criminal Investigation Division are currently on scene and the investigation is ongoing. The Bangor Fire Department and a Hazmat team from Orono, Maine, are assisting the investigation,” Betters said in a release.

The Bangor police said in a press briefing that they could not release any details regarding what was written in the letter and would likely turn the case over to the U.S. Capitol Police.

The Hill has reached out to Capitol Police for comment.

Collins and her husband released a statement Monday evening thanking the first responders for their “immediate and professional assistance.”

“We are also truly appreciative of the many well wishes that we received today,” Collins and Daffron said in the statement. “Our friends and neighbors have been incredible kind and have even offered to open their homes to us. We feel blessed to live in such a supportive community.”
