9 people killed in 'mass fentanyl poisoning event' in Florida
[WND] A string of recent overdoses in Gadsden County, Florida, are believed to be tied to laced pills containing fentanyl in what the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) characterized as a "mass fentanyl poisoning event."Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young said his office received about 15 calls on Friday related to the incident. There were nine deaths between Friday and Tuesday, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. The fatalities are due to a suspected strain of fentanyl suspected to be 1,000 times more potent than pure fentanyl, Young explained on a Sunday Facebook livestream, citing his conversations with the DEA. "So, we suspect that this was due to some type of an opioid or poisoning, such as fentanyl," Young said. Posted by: Besoeker 2022-07-07 |
