Two Teachers Hurt After Student Fight at SCHS

Two teachers and several students were assaulted after a brawl at South Columbus High School Tuesday, according to a sheriff’s report.

Juvenile petitions are being sought after the morning incident, the  report said.

Administrators told investigators that a fight outside of the school led to the attack. Several students allegedly entered a classroom and attacked another student, identified as a 16-year-old male. The other students were two males aged 15, a female who is 15, a 17-year-old female, a male aged 17, and a male aged 18.

A teacher who tried to stop the fight was assaulted, the report said, and a second teacher was struck at least once by a student.

All the students were charged with simple affray, the report said, and two were also charged with simple assault.
