Minneapolis Police Save Two Infants From Fentanyl Overdoses

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis police rescued two infants who were overdosing on fentanyl at the same residence.

Police were called to a home after a 2-month-old was found unresponsive. With no clear explanation for the infant's condition, the child was rushed to the hospital, where doctors determined a fentanyl overdose as the cause.

Narcan was administered, stabilizing the baby, who remained in serious condition.

Upon learning of the overdose, officers returned to the residence to check on the welfare of two other children—a second infant and a 2-year-old. When they arrived, they found the second infant in medical distress.

Officers administered Narcan and assisted with CPR while the infant was transported to the hospital. Medical staff confirmed that the officers' quick actions saved the baby’s life.

The 2-year-old was also evaluated at the hospital and showed no signs of medical concerns. The incident remains under investigation.
