Tear Gas Accidental Discharge At Hartselle Bank Office
About 400 farmers gathered in County Agent Gregory’s office in Hartselle to receive cotton checks when tear gas bombs discharged accidentally. The office, a former bank building, houses tear gas gear to deter robberies. The crowd fled as gas filled the room but no serious injuries occurred and check distribution resumed after a brief pause. It is unclear how the apparatus was triggered.
