ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say St. Paul police have reported 34 suspected drug overdoses, including two fatal ones, in the past week alone.

Sipes said police first noticed the unusual number of overdoses Dec. 27 when a computer database that maps suspected overdoses sent officers an alert of an increase.
