Calgary Transit says one of its peace officers was hospitalized after possibly being exposed to drugs during an incident in a light rail station. When the person stepped out of the elevator, one officer appeared to be affected by the substance, making him ill and he eventually passed out. Calgary Transit says it’s unclear what substance made the officer ill. He was administered the overdose-reversing drug naloxone, which seemed to work, and the officer was released from hospital later Sunday. The Alberta Paramedics Association says on its website that another first responder suffered a potential drug exposure in Calgary, although the website doesn’t say when the incident happened.
