Providence College drug overdoses

Providence College released a statement thanking first responders and campus safety officials for acting quickly.

"We want to thank the City of Providence first responders on scene, as well as college public safety officials, who administered lifesaving care to our students," a university spokesperson said.

Student Grace Condon said the incident has shaken the community.

"You hear about it in the news happening to other people and you don't think it can happen to you until it does," she said. "I think it's scary, I think that the fact that it happened so close to you when you think you're safe from that and everyone needs to be aware of this because it can happen to anyone."

Students who spoke with WBZ-TV said they are still processing what happened. At a nearby bar, several students said they were aware of the incident and the idea of it happening to a classmate is terrifying.

"It's just crazy to think that this would happen to my classmates or like even if they aren't in my grade like someone who goes to my school," Condon said.

Providence College also announced that they are actively investigating the incident.
