Hallway Brawl Halts Livermore–De La Salle Game, Leaves 17-Year-Old Hurt

Police seek tips to identify suspects.

Overview

  • Livermore police responded around 8:40 p.m. Tuesday and found a 17-year-old student who had lost consciousness but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
  • Police said suspects fled before officers arrived, and the athletic director said the altercation involved students from another high school, not De La Salle.
  • Witnesses reported that a firearm was displayed during the fight, but investigators have not confirmed the claim and no gun was found.
  • Referees halted the game with just under four minutes remaining, and officials postponed the remainder with plans reported to finish it later this week.
  • LPD’s Criminal Investigations Bureau is working with the school district and school resource officers, the school pledged increased security for the rescheduled game, and tips are being taken at 925-371-4790.
