Freeport Shelter In Place Lifted

A chemical leak at an industrial plant in Freeport resulted in a shelter-in-place order being issued, but as of 10:45 A.M., the order had been lifted.

According to reports, there was an active chlorine gas leak at Olin unit in Plant B, which began around 9:00am.

Brazosport ISD reported that their campuses went into shelter in place, meaning doors would remain shut, and students would not be released until authorities gave the all clear.
