Pittsburg, California – One person died and three children were hospitalized in a possible carbon monoxide poisoning incident in Pittsburg on Thursday night, according to police.

Pittsburg police said they were called to a residence in the 100 block of Vincent Street just after 7 p.m.

Officers arrived at the residence and saw a male who was “disoriented and incoherent.”

Officers discovered a mother who was unconscious and three children inside.

According to Pittsburg police, everyone inside the residence may have been exposed to carbon monoxide.
