Thirty-two pupils and staff members were taken to the hospital following a physical altercation and the use of pepper spray at Lake Worth High.
In an unexpected turn of events, a disturbance at Lake Worth High School on Thursday afternoon led to a large-scale response and the transportation of several students and faculty members to local hospitals.
The incident, which occurred around 12:30 PM, was reportedly a large fight that was broken up using pepper spray by a school resource officer. Tony Grant, a parent, stated that his daughter, an innocent bystander, was hit with pepper spray in her eyes during the incident.
According to the latest reports, approximately 20 to 30 people were treated and transported to surrounding hospitals following the incident. No specific details about injuries have been released, and neither have any details about the severity of injuries or any arrests made.
Principal Elena Villani sent a message to families and staff, stating that the students involved in the incident are now facing disciplinary action. School resource officers were dispatched to each hospital where students and faculty members were transported.
Gabe Sandoval, a junior at the school, was present during the incident and reported experiencing pepper spray. He also reported seeing other students on the floor, coughing and throwing up from the pepper spray. Other cell phone footage showed more fighting outside the cafeteria after the initial altercation.
Despite the incident, school buses arrived as scheduled, and dismissal proceeded normally. Parents and guardians were notified shortly after the incident. However, the exact number of students involved in the altercation and whether more than one fight broke out has not been disclosed.
The emergency response involved multiple fire-rescue units and law enforcement agencies. It's worth noting that there were reportedly multiple fights at the school earlier that day, according to Gabe Sandoval.
The search results do not provide information about which students were directly involved in the fight at Lake Worth High School on Thursday at 12:30 PM. Grant believes the use of pepper spray was excessive, but further details are yet to be released.
This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges that schools face in maintaining a safe and orderly environment, and it highlights the importance of communication and cooperation between students, parents, and school authorities.
