COLUMBUS, Ohio – This week, Columbus police accidentally fumigated an elementary school with tear gas while they were conducting a training drill nearby.

The training exercise was reportedly taking place at Cooper Stadium, which is very close to Sullivant Elementary School.

At one point during the drill, at least 15 tear gas canisters were deployed, creating a huge cloud of toxic smoke that quickly drifted over to the nearby school.

Over a dozen children experienced symptoms from the gas, and one pregnant teacher was even taken to the hospital.

Police department representatives are baffled by the incident, and have said that the school was well out of range and should not have been effected by their exercise.

“We thought we were certainly out of the range where we would have any impact. We are very apologetic for what happened. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this never happens again,” Deputy Chief Tim Becker said in a statement.
