Middle School Evacuated

Windsor Locks Middle School was evacuated today after a science teacher smelled a foul odor in a science room used for lab experiments.

Because of the snowy weather, the students of the middle school were already let out early. According to Courant.com, "Superintendent of Schools Gregory W. Little said about a dozen faculty and staff were evacuated."

The science teacher who first smelled the odor later discovered a broken bottle in a cabinet. But, this bottle was not normally used by students, and officials tried to find out what exactly was in the bottle.

At first, the Windsor Locks fire department responded to the scene, but the State Department of Environmental Protection took over later.
