WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Children tussling over a key-chain mace sprayer in a downtown Washington building on Wednesday triggered a chemical release that sent one person to hospital and briefly agitated U.S. financial markets.

Horseplay, not terrorism, was to blame for an incident that led to the evacuation of a building and a short-lived fall in the U.S. dollar, said Cathy Lanier, commander of special operations for the Washington police department.
