The college professor who opened fire at a Las Vegas college campus sent 22 letters "to various University personnel across the country" at least one of which contained "an unknown white powder" prior to the shooting, police have said. Anthony Polito visited a post office in nearby Henderson on Wednesday morning and sent the letters "with no return address", Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department chief Kevin McMahill told a press conference on Thursday.
