PHILADELPHIA — Police say several students at a Philadelphia elementary school became sick after eating baked goods apparently laced with marijuana.

Officers were called to Rudolph Blankenburg Elementary School in the city’s Parkside section Wednesday afternoon.

Investigators say a 13-year-old boy brought homemade cereal bars, possibly laced with marijuana, and handed them out to at least five other students at school.

The students were taken to hospitals, where at least two tested positive for marijuana.

Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker says because of the concentration in the food, one student started “seeing hallucinations” and had stomach pain.

Police plan to charge the 13-year-old with reckless endangerment and possession of marijuana.

PITTSBURGH — A black man who was paralyzed in a police-involved shooting during a traffic stop has announced he is running for Pittsburgh City Council.

Leon Ford says in a statement that he will run for the city’s District 9 seat. Ford says the campaign will focus on creating economic opportunities for residents and making neighborhoods safe.

Ford plans to formally launch his campaign on Nov. 11. The seat is currently held by the Rev. Ricky Burgess.

Ford was shot in 2012 when he was stopped by Pittsburgh Officers David Derbish and Andrew Miller. Derbish shot Ford five times.

Ford says officers thought he was a gang member with a similar name.

Pittsburgh agreed earlier this year to pay Ford $5.5 million to resolve a federal lawsuit.
