MOORESVILLE, N.C.
Five people, including three responding officers, are
receiving treatment following a HazMat situation in Mooresville Thursday
morning.
Around 8 a.m. Thursday, emergency first responders were
called to a home in the 100 block of Cinebar Road in Mooresville on reports of
a seizure.
Mooresville Police say a car was left running in the closed
garage, apparently all night, causing a build up of carbon monoxide.
Authorities say the three responding officers were overcome
upon entering the residence, but were able to pull one unresponsive victim from
the home.
Officers noticed a funny smell inside the home and report
feeling symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure and called the fire department for
assistance; the fire department pulled the second victim, who was vomiting
profusely, from the home.
The two female occupants, mother and daughter, were taken to
the hospital with life threatening injuries. Three responding officers were
also transported for treatment; NBC Charlotte's crew on scene reports the
officers are receiving oxygen treatments, and are expected to be okay.
A man, who was found outside of the home, was also taken to
the hospital for treatment; it's not clear the extent of his injuries.
