One Vintage High kid, the town crier of the situation, told TV news reporters: “A couple students had passed out and one was throwing up and everyone just came inside and started getting people out and putting them into a different room to test everyone.” Five of the students reportedly had to be taken to the hospital — they’re all OK now, reports say — and the rest of the student body had to shelter in place for a spell. The remainder of the school day at Vintage High was obviously shot. “We heard that there was like a SWAT team, police and firefighters were there and so everyone was just kind of chaotic really,” that same town-crier student tells ABC7, “and people were calling their parents wanting to go home because we didn’t know what was going on.” Originally the leading theory was a possible gas or carbon monoxide leak, but local fire officials and PG&E inspectors have ruled that out. “The fire department, police department and PG&E have deemed not only the choir room but the band room that is adjacent to it and the entire building as safe for use,” Julie Bordes, a spokesperson for the Napa Valley Unified School District told reporters Friday.
