No Chemical Leak or Shelter in Place Issued in St. Albans
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The St. Albans Police Department is alerting residents about false reports of a chemical leak in the area.
The police department, as well as Metro 911, have received multiple calls as of Wednesday afternoon from concerned residents who have heard about a chemical leak in the city. There were also false reports of a shelter in place issued in St. Albans.
Both claims are false, according to Captain James Agee. The department issued a message through Nixle at 1:56 p.m. to alert people of the false information.
