PORTLAND, Ore.—Police officers in Oregon revived a 2-year-old girl suspected of overdosing on fentanyl this week, news outlets reported.

The officers gave the girl CPR Monday and two rounds of naloxone, the life-saving nasal spray that reverses overdoses, Beaverton police spokesman Matt Henderson told The Oregonian/OregonLive. The girl regained consciousness a few minutes later and was taken to a hospital, where she was doing “much better,” Henderson said.
