Some school officials in Frederick received an unexpected scare on Thursday morning during a HazMat investigation.
At approximately 9:15 a.m. on Aug. 29, Frederick County Fire and Rescue personnel were called to Linganore High School after reports of an unknown substance that was found in a bathroom.
HazMat teams responded to the building, though the school was temporarily placed on a "hold" status to keep the hallways clear while the substance was tested.
On Thursday afternoon, officials confirmed that the substance was ultimately deemed non-hazardous, and Linganore High School returned to normal operations around noon.
