COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A man was arrested hours after two students overdosed on psilocybin mushrooms at a Colorado Springs middle school, according to police.
The Colorado Springs Police Department said the incident happened at Fox Meadow Middle School around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday. The students were taken to Memorial Children’s Hospital for treatment.
