2 Students Held After Fights at High School
Two students were arrested Thursday after several fights erupted in a crowded courtyard of Jordan High School, authorities said.
No one was seriously injured in the fights, which started about 12:30 p.m., although about 200 students scrambled to get out of the way, and “I saw a couple kids with ice packs and scratches,” said Long Beach Police Officer Jackie Bezart.
School officials released students about 20 minutes early because of the incident, she said. Police were still investigating the cause but said there was no initial evidence of racial conflict.
