Over 6 individuals were undergoing CPR simultaneously and 6 doses of Naloxone, a drug used to reverse the effects of opiates was administered to patients. One individual was pronounced dead at the scene, 12 were hospitalized, and two officers were also transported to the hospital due to exposure to the drug at the scene.
