"Gray death" fentanyl seized during Bloomington drug bust
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Police say they just uncovered a deadly, new kind of fentanyl in Minnesota.
It's called "gray death," and it sort of looks like mud or dirt.
Experts say it is faster-acting than other opioids, and can require multiple doses of treatments like Narcan to save someone who is overdosing.
Police say enough fentanyl to kill 32,000 victims turned up during a search in Bloomington this week. Chief Booker Hodges says the caught the suspect during a theft three weeks ago. He will now face drug charges now.
Bloomington has suffered at least 15 overdose deaths so far this year.
