At Ben Taub, students were washed-off as a precaution, before entering the hospital. They were all released. The student responsible said he did not mean to bring the pepper spray to school. He thought it was a pen sitting on top of his mother's end table. Although he did not mean to bring it to school, he did spray it in class, for which he will be reprimanded.
