LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (KADN) — New details have emerged about a fight at Northside High School that resulted in the arrests of four students. The incident occurred in a boys’ restroom and was captured on video obtained by News 15.
It began as a fistfight between two students and quickly escalated to involve four teens, aged 15 to 18. Police reported that one student used a pair of scissors to cut another during the brawl. All four students were arrested and charged by Lafayette police, with three being charged as juveniles.
Lafayette Parish Superintendent Francis Touchet emphasized the importance of parental involvement in discussing violence in schools.
“And it’s so important that all of our parents understand that they need to make sure they have conversations that violence that is taking place in schools is just a total disruption to the educational experience,” he said.
In addition to facing criminal charges, students involved in such fights can also face expulsion from school, according to LPSS.
