"Fullerton police said they discovered the bodies of four people inside a residence after a friend reported they had overdosed and were not breathing. Authorities said they were called to an apartment in the 100 block of Wilshire Avenue at 11:01 a.m. on Tuesday and the bodies were discovered. "There is no immediate threat to the public," the police said in a statement."
"Authorities have not confirmed the identities of the deceased, but a friend of the group told KTLA-TV Channel 5 that they were all part of the same softball team. Police did not confirm the deaths were a result of a drug overdose and could not immediately be reached for additional comment on Wednesday. But drug use has become a growing concern in the county in recent years."
