PHOENIX - An Arizona state senator is on high alert after receiving a death threat Monday through the mail.
The anonymous letter was sent from Flagstaff to Republican Senator Ron Gould and reads, "You and Jared have your Glock 9. I have Rem. 270. Be very ready."
Investigators believe the writer is referencing Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner in the unsigned letter.
Police are reportedly working to lift fingerprints off the envelope.
