Hundreds of students were evacuated from Germantown High School and officials can't pinpoint the mystery odor that drove everybody out. Whatever created the smell also made five cafeteria workers sick. They were sent to the hospital and investigators shut down part of the campus as a precaution.
Around 12-30, sirens blared from fire trucks at Germantown High as hundreds of students evacuated building 'A'. Chris Hanford, a sophomore, was among them. "We heard something about chemicals and that's all we knew," he says.
Officials say the five cafeteria workers went to the hospital complaining of itchy skin, trouble breathing and tight chests. Hazmat crews went in with special equipment, but found nothing. Whatever caused the noxious odor must have disappeared before they got there, surmised officials. The mystery odor sparked rumors of a stink bomb or pepper spray.
