WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Seven people were sickened by carbon monoxide at a northeast Wichita home. It happened Tuesday morning in the 1300 block of N. Lorraine.

KSN News talked to a family member outside of the home. He said he received a call from his son saying everyone inside was sick with a headache and vomiting. He quickly drove to the house to find his family on the floor.

“Every person was on the floor when I came,” said Juan Alvarado after finding his family members sick inside.
