THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROLLA, Mo. -- Nearly two dozen people were being decontaminated Tuesday after a white, powdery substance was found on a man threatening "terrorist-type" actions at the University of Missouri-Rolla, school officials said.

Twenty-three people were undergoing the process inside the university's civil engineering building where the suspect, a student, and the substance were found along with "possible bomb materials," the school said.

The student involved was taken into custody after a standoff with police early Tuesday, university spokeswoman Mary Helen Stoltz said. Classes were canceled.

5. The Army only has one, thats where they put it.
it used to be at Ft McClellan, Alabama, until around 1999, when that post closed down.

6. For some reason, I thought Ft. Dietrich was an Army thing.
It's amazing to have lived in the Midwest a lot, and have never known this about Ft. Leonard Wood.

Better late than never, right?
