A student at Selbyville Middle School apparently was taken by an ambulance from a school dance on Halloween because it was believed he had ingested heroin in a bathroom.
An Indian River School District official told the Wilmington News Journal that only one student was involved and that he did not inject the substance with a needle.
Spokesman David Maull said that the emergency responders showed up at the scene after receiving a 911 call and took the student Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.
There was some concern by parents that they were not told about the incident given the evidence of heroin use the Shore.
But school officials say since it only involved one student they did not feel the need to send out an alert.
