Three Connecticut seventh graders have been hospitalized after apparent exposure to fentanyl at a Connecticut middle school, with a 13-year-old boy in 'grave condition' due to an overdose, officials say.
Drug Enforcement Agency agents, state police and Hartford police scoured Sport and Medical Sciences Academy in Hartford after it was locked down, officials said,The 13-year-old victim collapsed in a gymnasium, but the drug was apparently taken elsewhere on campus.
"It is believed that the student ingested something in the classroom," Hartford Public Schools Superintendent Leslie Torres-Rodriguez told reporters.The two other seventh grade students were hospitalized for observation after having been in a classroom with the teen who collapsed. A teacher who was disturbed by what they saw and suffered a panic attack was offered support.
"Our entire community is praying for this child in the hospital and for his family. And again make an ask of every parent to talk with your kids and make sure they know how serious and how dangerous any unknown substance can be and any drug can be," Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin said. "Please have that conversation tonight. We're talking about seventh graders. It's never too early to have that conversation."
