Six Florida cadets at an Air Force Military ball were rushed to the hospital on Thursday after downing what some students described as spike drinks, according to a report.
The six victims, all students of high school JROTC cadet programs, suddenly began to vomit after gulping down beverages mixed with an unknown drug, the report said.
“They laced the drinks or put something in the drinks,” said one student, according to Local 10 News.
Another told the station: “The water at one of our tables, it had drugs in them. People started putting drugs in them. We don’t know exactly who or how many people did it, but for the kids who drank it – the Northeast kids who drank water – they got high and everything.”
The Broward County School District said they have launched an investigation into the incident along with police.
“The District and Northeast High School administration are concerned and closely following the Davie Police investigation into what caused six students to become ill Thursday night while attending the Air Force JROTC Military Ball at the Signature Grand in Davie,” the district said in a statement.
At a point during the party, people suddenly began to vomit, one attendee recalled to Local 10.
“One moment, we were dancing in the ball, and then the next moment, like an hour later, kids started throwing up,” an attendee told Local 10.
“Then other kids felt nauseous and stuff like that. I think one girl almost had a seizure.”
Fortunately, the six victims are all expected to survive. Four of them are reported to be in stable condition while two remain hospitalized.
