BATON ROUGE - Federal investigators are involved after several members of the Louisiana legislature received post cards depicting a lynching, sources confirmed to WBRZ on Thursday.

WBRZ obtained a photo of one post card, which had Kristi Noem's name and the Department of Homeland Security mailing address on one side and a copy of a photo of lynching on the other. According to GettyImages, the photo showed the 1930 killing of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, which happened in Marion, Indiana.

An email was sent around noon on Thursday, saying that the legislature was aware of the post cards and that there would be additional information about the "current threat."

It's unclear what those next steps may be. WBRZ has reached out for more information.
