FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two people are being treated in the hospital after being sickened when pepper spray was used in a Fresno County McDonald's restaurant.

No employees were hurt or became ill. The restaurant was closed for awhile to let it air out.

NOTE: Witnesses at the scene said Bear Spray was used, however the Fresno County Sheriff's Office later said it was pepper spray.
