“A car pulled in the driver flagged down the sergeant and said ‘help me, my friends dying’.” This was the scene Friday at the patrol west police substation in Wichita. Wichita Police Captain, Travis Rakestraw says a Sargent with the department immediately ran over to the car. He determined that the passenger was overdosing on a fake painkiller, potentially laced with Fentanyl. Rakestraw says that sergeant proceeded to use Narcan on the 20-year-old. “He applied two doses to this individual who within a very short amount of time started to come out of it became responsive and breathing better.” This moment was payoff for new policy WPD put into place last month, supplying some of its patrol officers and supervisors with Narcan.

Artists and vendors didn’t hesitate to pitch in. “There was no hesitation. We enjoy getting paid at times, but we believe in giving back. All of the bands that are here today are donating their services. We were honored to be asked to assist,” Mike Furches, a musician at the concert said Sunday. “Wichita is a blessed community. We are not the only band here. There are like 12 other bands here. Musicians generally are people that care. We care about the victims. Thankfully, there was no loss of life, but there was loss of property. We want those families in Andover to know that we love and we care for them and we are here to serve them and hopefully raise some money today to provide some for their needs.”
