ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say an argument between two students escalated into a fight at a South Carolina high school that warranted a response from sheriff’s deputies.
Anderson County School District 5 spokesman Kyle Newton told media outlets the fights started in a common area of T.L. Hanna High School around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Authorities say as the school’s police officer checked on the argument, several other fights broke out and the officer called deputies for back up.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Nikki Carson says eight students are charged as juveniles and three as adults. They ranged in age from 15 to 17 and are charged with disturbing schools.
Authorities say no one was seriously injured.
Deputies say they aren’t sure what started the fights during the last week of school.
