Twenty students at an elementary school in California fell ill on Tuesday after being exposed to tear gas and pepper spray that drifted onto their campus. The incident occurred at Portola Elementary School in San Bruno during a training exercise conducted by the San Francisco Sheriff's Office at the nearby San Bruno Jail.
According to a source, the sheriff's office was engaged in an indoor training session involving chemical agents when tear gas from the exercise dispersed outside and reached the school, which is situated approximately a mile away from the jail. Students and teachers reported experiencing irritation in their eyes, nose, and throat as a result of the exposure.
