The incident involved the mother and her three children and police said a 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl were also in the house, with the girl making the initial call to police after finding her mother and brother unconscious.

Saratoga Springs Assistant Police Chief Bill Robertson said the scene was being processed and what transpired is under investigation. At this point, there is no suspect and police were waiting on a warrant to get inside the house.
