FBI Probes Tainted Water Bottles At SoCal School

SANTA CLARITA (CBS) ― The FBI is investigating how apparently poisoned water bottles got into a vending machine at a middle school in Santa Clarita, making about a dozen people ill today, a fire inspector said.

At 12:45 p.m., fire officials heard that people were becoming sick at La Mesa Junior High School at 26623 May Way, said county fire inspector Steve Zermeno. All of the victims were students.

The water bottles believed to have caused the sickness came from the
school's vending machines, Zermeno said.

It was not immediately clear what the bottles contained, but it appeared to be a "bleach-like substance," Zermeno said.

Six of the 12 people who reported feeling sick were taken to a hospital
for evaluation, Zermeno said.
