Several 9th graders at Curie Metropolitan High School were treated Wednesday for possibly overdosing on laced granola bars at the Southwest Side school.
Paramedics responded to a call of students overdosing and acting “bizarre” shortly after noon at the school, 4959 S. Archer Ave., according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Juan Hernandez
“They ingested a type of edible — a granola bar laced with something,” Hernandez said.
Three students were taken to Mt. Sinai and Stroger hospitals with altered mental status, he said. Their conditions were stabilized.
The parent of a fourth student came to the scene and refused medical treatment for the child, Hernandez said.
Chicago police did not immediately have details about the incident.
