From drudge...

Officials say several dozen people have been sickened in a downtown Washington, D.C. office building.

D.C., Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter said the incident is being treated as what he calls a "mass casualty" incident. Ambulances are lining up in the area around 1990 "I" Street, Northwest, and a triage area is being set up at nearby Murrow Park.

There's no immediate word on what the problem is...

update:

Authorities now believe it was pepper spray that affected several people in a downtown Washington D.C. office building this afternoon.

Commander Cathy Lenier of the Metropolitan Police Department says between 20 and 30 people are being treated for eye irritations. Lenier says a group of kids apparently released the pepper spray into a shopping area inside the building at 19th and "I" streets, Northwest.

D-C Fire and E-M-S spokesman Alan Etter says this a triage area is being set up at nearby Murrow Park.

Portions of "I" and 19th streets are shut in the area, where some two-dozen emergency vehicles are situated.
