FBI Investigating Odor at Walmart

FBI and ATF agents are now investigating the source of fumes released in the Wal Mart along Appleton Avenue in Germantown Thursday afternoon. 47 people were treated in area hospitals. - WTMJ Story

Police have found a substance on the floor. Hoell says they have an idea what it is, but prefer not to release that information. - WTMJ

Hazmat crews and ATF are on the scene trying to figure out what was released into the air. They don't want to ventilate the building, because they don't want to release the substance into the air. - WTMJ

Germantown police Chief Peter Hoell said he is considering it a crime scene because they don't know what the ordor was or where it came from. They don't know if whatever happened was deliberate or not. - WISN
