A female undergraduate student in Gilbert was awakened to the sound of a door slamming early in the morning Oct. 11. Shortly after, she heard the sound of something being sprayed into her room.

She began experiencing a burning sensation in her throat and began having difficulty breathing. Security officers responding to the scene identified the substance that was sprayed into the room as being discharged from a dry chemical fire extinguisher, security investigator Dan Lafferty said.

No suspect has been identified for the incident, and anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to contact Lafferty at x35021.
