A brawl broke out at the Penquis Valley High School in Milo on Thursday morning, apparently involving staff and leaving multiple students hospitalized with minor injuries.
At approximately 11:47 a.m., the Milo Police Department responded to reports of a significant brawl at the high school, with an unspecified number of students involved.
Initially, the police believed that the caller reported there was a “stabbing involved,” but they later discovered that the caller had said “staff involved” and that their words were obscured by the background noise.
The school was placed on a temporary lockdown in response to the incident.
Neither the police nor the school confirmed how many students and staff were involved or what prompted the brawl.
Law enforcement confirmed that there were minor injuries requiring ambulances to transport some of the injured parties to the hospital for treatment.
Authorities have not yet clarified whether any charges will be filed, and school officials did not indicate whether disciplinary action would be taken against the instigators.
The school superintendent, Darcie Fournier, issued a statement clarifying that the school had resumed normal operations.
“I want to assure you that there were no weapons involved, and all students and staff are safe. The individuals involved are no longer on school grounds, and we have resumed normal operations,” said Fournier.
One commentator, going by the name Truth Slinger X, posted a video on social media, purported to be exclusive footage of the brawl. The video appears to show a group of students fighting, while onlookers cheer and yell racial slurs. The Maine Wire cannot independently verify the veracity of the video.
