CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Campus security briefly evacuated a building at Casper College after a student accidentally fired pepper spray into her purse.
Chemicals from the spray spread through the first floor of the Wold Physical Science Building on Thursday.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/2hbYfOe) students began coughing and had watery eyes. Security officers closed the building and sealed the purse in a plastic bag.
College spokeswoman Lisa Icenogle says the episode only lasted 10 minutes.
