PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix firefighters say four elementary school students appear stable after taking heart medication pills.

Phoenix Fire Capt. Rob McDade says the children took the pills while on the school bus Thursday morning.

According to McDade, all of them appeared alert.



He says all four were released to their parents who declined transport to a hospital.

The parents said they would take their children to get checked out by a doctor.

Phoenix police plan to investigate.
