SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Thousands of people were evacuated from a mall Sunday afternoon after noxious fumes of unknown origin sickened people inside, fire officials said.
At least 36 people in NorthTown Mall sought treatment at hospitals, Spokane police said. Police called the fumes a "possible chemical irritant," but still do not know what the irritant was.
Of those seeking treatment, 32 went to Holy Family Hospital and another four went to Sacred Heart Medical Center. Most complaints were about eye, nose and throat irritation.
