ELYRIA, Ohio– A couple homes in Elyria were evacuated Wednesday afternoon because of a gas leak.
The gas line was damaged at East Avenue and 4th Street, according to a Columbia Gas spokesman. Once the gas is shut off, crews will begin repairs.
Originally, the gas company said a few buildings nearby, including St. Mary School, were evacuated; however, that was later revised.
Columbia Gas said two homes were evacuated. A shelter in place was issued for a nearby apartment building and also for the school.
