ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – An open air drug market in the middle of Downtown at the park at 13th and 14th streets between Pine and Olive is causing concern among residents.
Daily view for 250 K-5 students right out their window. The guy on the ground was choking on his own vomit. Fire dept was quick to respond, when they got there he got up and walked away, they went back to their truck. https://t.co/XyJMh6rsZ0pic.twitter.com/NJxh5aHbln

KMOX sent to the St. Louis Police Department disturbing pictures posted to social media showing people passed out on sidewalks and some overdosing and requested an interview with Police Chief Robert Tracy. The department has not responded to our request.
Those overdoses are not happening in the middle of the night. It’s happened in the middle of the day, while children are in the area at two nearby schools…
