BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: A brawl among schoolchildren turned violent on
July 23 resulting in four adults being injured, two of who were
officers with the Boston Police Department. The cops were responding to a
911 call in the morning regarding the fight. One of the officers was
kicked in the head and the other was bitten while responding to the
fight.
Cases of schoolchildren displaying violent tendencies have been on an uptick in the recent past. On May 6, a sixth-grader girl brought a gun to Rigby Middle School in Idaho and went on a shooting spree. The girl was disarmed by a brave teacher but not before her bullets hit three people who were left with non-life-threatening injuries. In another incident, a 16-year-old Florida girl was arrested after she told her friends that she was "tired of the kids" and would shoot up the school.

Two Boston cops are injured and hospitalized after being bitten and
kicked in the head by group of children brawling in a school bus. One child and four adults, including two Boston police officers, were taken to the hospital on Friday
A fight broke out among the students at the McKinley School as they
were being taken to a summer learning program at Orchard Gardens School,
according to Boston Public Schools' statement to Daily Mail.
Police responded to the 911 complaint made around 8 am on July 23. The
driver of the bus pulled over and police and EMS responded and it was
not clear immediately as to what sparked the fight between three of the
students.
It was reported
that Boston Police Department said that one of their officers was
kicked in the head and the other was bitten by a student while
responding to the fight. Both of them had to be hospitalized after
sustaining injuries. Additionally, a child was taken to the hospital
with a non-life-threatening injury that was inflicted before the police
officers could reach the scene. The bus driver and bus monitor were also
taken to the hospital for evaluation, according to the school district.
The rest of the students were evaluated by paramedics and taken to the
school on a different bus, the district added.
The families of all students on the bus were contacted by the school
district. 'Violence of any kind is not tolerated in the Boston Public
Schools. Our buses are an extension of our classrooms,' the district
said. 'The situation will be fully evaluated, appropriate support will
be provided, and any disciplinary actions will be taken in accordance
with the BPS Code of Conduct.'
