A father went to the campus to look for his daughter when she didn't return home after school and found her suffering from an overdose in the school's courtyard. Another girl died in a school bathroom.
The man's daughter was taken to a hospital and is OK as of Wednesday morning.
The two girls made their purchase in Lexington Park, just south of Bernstein High, earlier that same day, according to police. When the two teenagers took the pills, they immediately felt ill. According to the LAPD, someone is selling pills laced with fentanyl, which contributed to the two girls' overdoses.
LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho went to Bernstein High Wednesday morning to meet with the dead girl's family. He lashed out at the scourge of drugs being sold to teen students, saying people have been selling narcotics in Lexington Park for weeks.
