An emergency medical response to a suspected drug overdose at a home in Mountainair on Wednesday morning ended with the deaths of three people and hospital treatment of at least 18 first responders.
New Mexico State Police, which took over the investigation from local law enforcement, said emergency medical responders found four unresponsive people at the home on Honlon Avenue in Mountainair, a Torrance County mountain town of fewer than 1,000 people about 65 miles southeast of Albuquerque.
One person was revived with Narcan, a drug used to reverse opioid overdoses, Torrance County Sheriff David Frazee noted, and then first responders who entered the residence began feeling ill.
