WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina middle school student was hospitalized following a fight in the cafeteria, district officials said in a statement on Monday.
Colleton County Middle School staff separated the students and ended the fight shortly after it broke out that morning, according to the district’s statement. Weapons weren’t involved.
One of the students was given immediate medical treatment by school staff and then taken to a hospital, the statement said.
