Police arrest 2 after alleged assault on Gaston school officials
Police arrested two people suspected of assaulting two Gaston Middle School officials Friday.
Police said a 15-year-old student and a 19-year-old were each arrested on suspicion of battery on a school official.
Police described what they believe happened:
Officers were called to the southwest Fresno school just before 3 p.m. They learned that a mother upset about a dispute that her daughter had with another student at the school had sparked an argument that turned physical when the student and the 19-year-old, who came to the school with the mother, attacked two school officials.
No other injuries were reported, and police said Fresno Unified School District is conducting their own review of the incident.
