RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A student at a Southern California high school was revived Thursday after she stopped breathing after apparently taking a pill laced with fentanyl, authorities said. Authorities were called to Arlington High School in Riverside after the 15-year-old girl began having a medical emergency, Riverside police said in a statement. “The student stopped breathing and the school resource officer, assistant principal and other staff quickly initiated life-saving measures,” including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the statement said. This is the first known case of fentanyl affecting a student within RUSD and we would like it to be the last,” said Tim Walker, deputy superintendent of the Riverside Unified School District.
