PHELAN, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Serrano High School was placed on lockdown after reports of parents and students fighting on the campus.
Details into what exactly occurred aren’t yet very clear, however, videos shared on social media showed several fights involving a large group of individuals.
Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station spokeswoman Staci Parks told VVNG the initial information showed that parents were fighting and possibly students.
According to one person who asked to remain anonymous, it started with two girls fighting each other and one of them was pinned down by a police officer after hitting a teacher/proctor. Moments later, another fight broke out this time with parents and siblings that prompted a lockdown.
The lockdown has since been lifted and the Snowline Unified School District released the following statement:
“Snowline, Serrano has lifted a lockdown due to a fight involving multiple students, which resulted in parents arriving on campus and escalating the event. All parties were quickly removed from campus and steps are begin taken to further resolve the situation to ensure the safety of all students. No weapons were involved and more information will follow based on findings in the ongoing investigation.”
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
