Overview
- A physical altercation at Montgomery High prompted a campus lockdown and a 16-officer response after multiple calls about a fight on Tuesday.
- Police say a 15-year-old student brandished a knife, fled before officers arrived, and was later found hiding across the street where a 4-inch fixed-blade knife was recovered.
- Several students suffered minor injuries at the scene and one student was taken to the hospital with wounds to the face and hand.
- Officers arrested seven juvenile students on suspicion of battery on school grounds and charged the 15-year-old with additional weapon offenses while withholding names because they are minors.
- Montgomery High’s prior 2023 fatal stabbing has heightened school safety concerns and the ongoing police probe could prompt further district security and disciplinary actions.
