14 Students From Walter Reed Middle School Treated for Unknown Drug

Over a dozen students from Walter Reed Middle School in Los Angeles were treated for an unknown drug on Thursday.
Authorities say up to 14 students at the Studio City middle school were overcome by some type of substance. All are expected to fully recover. The students were medically evaluated on site after the Los Angeles Fire Department raced to the scene at around 11 a.m. local time on Thursday.
The LAFD told Newsweek late Thursday afternoon that they responded to the school after getting a report of an overdose at around 10:29 a.m. local time.
The department said it treated 17 patients but could not specify whether they were all students. Two of the 17 patients were transported to the hospital in non-life-threatening conditions. The remaining patients were released to parent or school custody.
Newsweek reached out to the Los Angeles Unified School District via email for comment on Thursday afternoon.
