The cause of the level-2 Hazmat response was a Freon gas leak in a second-floor machine room, firefighters said.

The supermarket said its store was evacuated out of "an abundance of caution," and that it "will remain closed until further notice." Stop & Shop is cooperating with the city and its fire department as they investigate what happened.
