   The KC STAR reports a story about a case where 2  metro
area high school students have been suspended for 10 days
for spraying pepper spray in the school hallway.  Investigators
found a key chain-sized pepper spray canister in a hall trash
can.  
   About a dozen people were sent to the hospital, although 
some students were unaffected and couldn't understand why 
others were coughing and crying.
   The school is trying to decide if they should increase the
punishment to a one year suspension.
   They have been charged in the Juvenile Division of the 
Johnson County District Court with: battery, disorderly 
conduct and criminal use of weapons.
