Buffalo police, fire and first responders were called to the Pfc. William Grabiarz School of Excellence, Buffalo Public School 79, on Lawn Avenue in the Military Road-Hertel Avenue area of the city around noon Thursday.
Police said a 13-year-old male student discharged a can of pepper spray inside of a classroom full of students. Apparently none of the students were directly targeted, but several students and a teacher from that classroom were treated by paramedics after being affected by the mist from the spray.
A shelter in place order due to the incident was lifted at the school at around 1 p.m. An investigation is underway.
