HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — Four students who overdosed on OxyContin pills at R.A. Brown Middle School in Hillsboro are expected to recover.
Police said the two boys and two girls took about 15 of the pills that were brought to school Monday by one of the boys, who had taken them from his mother.
The students were treated at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. One girl had her stomach pumped and was kept overnight for observation.
School district spokeswoman Beth Graser told The Oregonian that some students reported that the four students were sick because of the pills.
