Infants in Minneapolis both in stable condition following fentanyl exposure
Minneapolis police say their officer’s quick action helped save the lives of two infants.
According to the police, officers were called to assist a 2-month-old who was unresponsive. The infant was taken to the hospital, where doctors determined the baby was suffering from a fentanyl overdose.
Narcan was administered, and the child was in serious but stable condition.
After learning the infant had been exposed to fentanyl, police returned to the original location of the incident to check on the welfare of another infant and a 2-year-old who was also at the same residence.
The infant was in medical distress when they returned, requiring officers to administer Narcan and assist with CPR while the baby was being taken to the hospital.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, doctors confirmed the officers’ quick response saved the infant’s life.
The 2-year-old was medically evaluated and showed no signs of any issues.
“This moment is a powerful reminder of the life-saving role our officers play in the community and the important partnerships between first responders and medical professionals,” the department wrote in a statement.
At this time, police have not provided details about how the infants were exposed or if any arrests have been made in connection to the incident.

Delta Air Lines says 4 passengers injured after flight to Minneapolis was aborted
A powerful winter storm that dumped heavy snow and glazed roads with ice across much of Texas and Oklahoma lumbered eastward into the southern U.S. Friday, prompting governors to declare states of emergency and shuttering schools across the region.
Snow began falling in metro Atlanta before dawn, leading to hundreds of flights being cancelled and hundreds more delayed at Atlanta’s airport, according to flight tracking software FlightAware. Controllers declared a ground stop before 8 a.m., meaning no planes could land or take off. Atlanta, a major hub for Delta Air Lines, is the world’s busiest airport.
Four passengers were injured after a Delta Air Lines plane bound for Minneapolis aborted takeoff on Friday morning, according to a statement by officials at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
One passenger was taken to a hospital for treatment, while three people were treated at the scene for minor injuries. The incident contributed to further delays at the airport, although Delta said it was unclear whether the weather had anything to do with the flight aborting its takeoff.
Other airports with significant delays and cancellations included those in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville.
