Services suspected they had taken fentanyl. The victims are schoolgirls between the ages of 16 and 17. With them was a third minor, a 17-year-old girl who survived and was hospitalized in serious condition.
District Attorney Mark Davidson told NBC News that the rescued teen had already faced two counts of second-degree murder and possession of an illegal substance.

The Prosecutor indicated that the exact cause of death of her colleagues has not yet been determined.

The portal informs that all three teenagers are high school students, near which the tragedy occurred. A few hours after their bodies were found in the parking lot, the building was scheduled to host a graduation party at the end of the school year. The victims had just finished first grade.
