The Oakwood Institute of Science reported the captivity of 26 students and faculty who all entered a building on campus, but have not come out on the morning of April 9th, 2002.

Police were notified at 6:42pm on the same day and promptly surrounded the building which held the missing students. Whether this is an active hostage situation or a gas leak is unknown.

A Swat team is on standby along with a chemist equipped with a remote controlled rover to analyze air toxicity.

We are still awaiting an update from the police chief about the fate of the missing students and faculty.
