No Gas Leak At Mooresville High, School Officials Say

MOORESVILLE, NC — A gas-like odor in the halls of Mooresville High School prompted some concern at the school Wednesday morning, but there’s no danger, according to school officials.

“We are aware that there are reports of a gas leak at MHS. I want to clarify that there is not gas leak,” school officials said in a message to parents on social media addressing the pungent odor in the halls.

After teachers “smelt it,” they dealt with it. (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.)

“A few Bunsen burners were left open on a science classroom,” the school said. “The source of the smell was quickly identified and remedied. Classes where the smell is the strongest have been relocated until the smell dissipates.”
