Five people were hospitalized late Thursday night after a suspected overdose at Kilroy’s Sports Bar on Walnut Street.  

The Bloomington Police Department said five men took a substance they believed to be cocaine and reported feeling unwell immediately afterward.  

Naloxone was administered to two of the individuals, who were unconscious or semi-conscious in the alley at the time emergency responders arrived.  

It’s unknown what drug was taken, as the remainder was discarded after the group realized it was likely laced. No blood tests were provided to the police.  

All five individuals were in stable condition as of Friday afternoon. None face criminal charges.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
