Official: More than 30 girls involved in bloody brawl at Pittsburgh school
PITTSBURGH – A school official said more than 30 girls were involved in a bloody brawl at a Pittsburgh school after a fight over a boy got out of hand.
Pittsburgh Public Schools spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said about 30 University Prep students were arrested after the Monday morning fight. She said one student was taken to a hospital for an asthma attack.
The school, which serves grades 6 through 12, was taken off lockdown after the students were removed from the grounds.
Pugh said classes resumed as normal Monday.
TV news footage shows a large police presence and ambulances outside the school.
Pugh said the fight began around 9:45 a.m., and those involved will likely face charges. She wasn’t sure of the ages of those involved.
She said injuries other than the asthma attack were minor scratches and bruises.
