Minn. students evaluated after CO leak

Some students and teachers had to be checked out by paramedics after a carbon monoxide leak at a St. Paul elementary school.

A parent at Como Park Elementary smelled something unusual and alerted school staff Tuesday.

KSTP-TV reports paramedics evaluated 25 students and teachers, but no one was sent to the hospital and students were allowed back into the school to finish the day.

KSTP reports a leak was found in the boiler room, but carbon monoxide levels were deemed not high enough to be dangerous.
