Nine elementary students were sickened after ingesting a 'suspicious' substance at a South Side elementary school Wednesday morning.
At least six ambulances were called to Richard J. Daley Elementary Academy, 5024 S. Wolcott Ave. about 9:30 a.m., after some kids "found a substance," according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt.
Nine students became ill after ingesting the 'non-toxic' substance, according to police.
"They're being checked out," said Merritt of the students.
As of 10:05 a.m. nobody has been sent to a hospital, he added.
Police were also on the scene.
