MILLINGTON, Tenn. — Students at Millington High School were evacuated due to a gas leak early Wednesday morning, WREG has confirmed.
According to reports, a construction crew was working to build the Millington Performing Arts Center and hit a two-inch gas main. The gas has since been turned off, but officials told us they have to go room by room to get readings before allowing students to return.
A viewer in the area told our team law enforcement officials are on the scene blocking off roads near the school.
