MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL EVACUATED DUE TO GAS-LIKE ODOR

Maplewood Middle School was evacuated Wednesday afternoon after reports of a gas-like odor.

Administrators and students said they were directed to evacuate shortly after school ended at around 3 p.m. Although the school day was over, many students remained in the building at that time for clubs and other after-school activities.

After about an hour, students were allowed to return to the building to get their belongings, but could not remain. Some said the upper floors still had a strong gas smell and increased heat.

See video of the scene below. We will update with details as they become available.
