A carbon monoxide leak forced University Village residents out of the apartment building for about two hours Friday night. Officials gave the all-clear shortly after 10 p.m.

Minneapolis Fire Battalion Chief Steve Ebert said it's unclear what caused the elevated carbon monoxide levels, which prompted building staff to call 911 shortly after 8 p.m. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly when inhaled.

Ebert said nobody was treated for carbon monoxide poisoning but one woman spoke with emergency medical technicians at the scene.
