Student Illness Prompts Building Evacuation at Rockland Community College

Two students fell ill Wednesday at Rockland Community College in Suffern and a building was evacuated.

An article on News12.com said one student was feeling sick in a classroom and went to the bathroom. A second student went after her when she didn’t come back.

Both students passed out in the bathroom.

A teacher helped the students out of the building, according to FIOS1 News.

Rockland County Hazmat team was dispatched to check out a possible leak in the building, FIOS1 said, adding there was no word on whether it was carbon dioxide or some other gas causing the problem.
