I hope they took a few people to jail. I happened to see all of the cars and ambulance vehicles when I was driving by. That cost a pretty penny for the city budget. How about if the parents and kids
who are responsible for the disturbance pay for it. Sorry parents, but there has to be someone held to account.
Glad there was no serious injury!
Different school today then when I was there. I wish they had reported on what started the fight and if it ws gang related.
I saw all these fire trucks etc yesterday and was wondering what the hell happened.
