DENVER – First responders were called to John F. Kennedy High School early Thursday morning on reports that students might have overdosed, according to a Denver Public Schools spokesman.
The DPS Department of Safety, officers with the Denver Police Department as well as paramedics were responding to the high school located on Lamar Street near the intersection of W. Darmouth Avenue at around 9 a.m. on reports of a medical emergency “related to some sort of overdose of a drug,” said DPS spokesman Will Jones.
Scott Pribble, the director of external communications for DPS, told Denver7 that the medical emergency was an isolated incident involving five students who were in the parking lot of the school.
One of the students was taken to a local hospital for treatment and three others were released to their parents, Pribble said. The status of the fifth student was unclear, he added. No other students at the school were impacted.
