Then, at approximately 3:30 a.m., authorities responded to a call of two overdose victims in the 600 block of North Hammes Avenue. Both subjects were revived at the scene and transported to area hospitals, according to authorities.
In the final incident, at approximately 10 a.m., emergency responders were called to a home in the 1700 block of Cedar Street for a 20-year-old woman who was reported to not be breathing.
