ROBINSON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Students at a local Catholic school were sent home early due to a gas leak on Wednesday.
Channel 11 crews saw People’s Gas employees and Moon Run firefighters at Archangel Gabriel Catholic School in Robinson Township.
Students and staff were seen evacuating from the school building into the next-door church. Some students boarded buses, while others were picked up by their parents.
“We got notified there was a gas leak and they were evacuating them to the church,” said Brianna Williams, the mother of a first-grader. “Then we got a message that, out of an abundance of caution, they are going to release students and to come pick them up, so here we are.”
Parents said they were relieved the evacuation went smoothly.
No one reported feeling sick.
Channel 11 has reached out to the Diocese of Pittsburgh for more information on the leak.
