South End’s McKinley Among Schools That Received Suspicious Letters
One South End School, the McKinley school, was among the Boston public schools that received suspicious letters late last week.
As of Friday afternoon the Boston Police Department had collected 24 suspicious letters sent to Boston public schools, according to BPDnews.com.
“There does not appear to be any reason why any particular schools received letters, and it is possible that others have yet to arrive. The letters all appear to be from the same sender and have the same postmarked Texas address. The investigation is ongoing,” the BPDnews.com posting stated.
