WEATHERFORD, Okla. (AP) — A leaking tanker truck spewed dangerous ammonia gas in a hotel parking lot, forcing hundreds of residents in a small Oklahoma city to evacuate and sending several dozen people to the hospital, authorities said Thursday.

Officials lifted a shelter-in-place order Thursday morning, hours after firefighters wearing gas masks went door-to-door in Weatherford, waking people up and telling them to leave because of fumes from the anhydrous ammonia leak.
