Police say an 11-year-old girl had to be revived with the antidote Narcan after a drug overdose in her Pittsburgh home.

Officers were called to the home last week for a suspected overdose. A paramedic who responded tells the Post-Gazette the girl was using heroin.

Police said the child was in critical condition at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
