Odor forces students from school

BRISTOL, R.I.—Ten people were sent to a hospital Thursday when they were sickened by an odor that the wind blew into a Bristol school.

The Rockwell School on Hope Street was evacuated at about 1 p.m.  Officials said eight students and two staffers were treated.

Officials said the odor came from a neighbor who was spraying trees with a pesticide.

The building was aired out and people were allowed back in.

Officials said there is no lingering danger from the fumes.  The smell came from a common pesticide available in stores.
