I've heard exposure to meth fumes can get you pretty sick.

What is it?  "Wet" something or other?

I think it's the smoke from City Hall being piped in.  Where's Shadows?

The news report tonight said they eliminated the sheriffs bus and the prison. That leaves the school as the cause, though they tried to say it may be from somewhere else. My bets are on the sheriffs bus and we will never learn that was the source of it. Only way it can be another source is if other people from the school also get sick.
Thank you,

Oh what the hell, I'll take a wild guess and say it's possibly an incapacitating chemical agent they keep in case of riot, that kinda got away from them.
Lawsuits will no doubt follow.

"We hear a loud bang and we turn around and there's my friend on the floor having a seizure," 6th grader Mariah Johnston said.

Johnston says she fainted next. All she remembers was feeling nauseous, dizzy and scared.



Carbon Monoxide alone usually takes a little longer to manifest symptoms.  For it to drop you in your tracks would take an astronomical concentration.

I believe CO poisoning can cause auditory hallucinations.

So that's why all the Fox News people have bronze faces. They must be messing with the white balance to turn the brown into a more golden hue.
