It was the last day of classes.

“Several students from the school were fighting which warranted a large police response. One of the students struck a police officer. The officer sustained non-fatal injuries. A 15-year-old male was arrested for battery to an officer. Criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
