Austin, Texas, saw an "unusually deadly" surge of more than 50 opioid overdoses between Monday and Tuesday, resulting in eight people dying and several others being rescued with Narcan, according to officials.
At about 9 a.m. on Monday, Austin-Travis County EMS personnel began responding to a sudden surge in opioid-related overdose calls.
Dispatchers received a series of calls in the downtown area, resulting in a rapid response team that included the Austin-Travis County EMS team and others, being deployed to downtown Austin.
When the team arrived, they distributed over 200 Narcan rescue kits throughout the area to counteract the effects of opioid overdoses, while also providing lifesaving intervention to anyone overdosing on opioids.
