And by zoo, I mean one of the typical piss-poor high schools in the "wonderful" nearby city of Norfolk, VA

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A security officer was injured and Norfolk police had to intervene Friday when fights broke out at Norview High School, following a false fire alarm.

Around 1 p.m., staff and students were evacuated from the school buildings when a fire alarm was activated, according to Norfolk Public Schools spokeswoman Elizabeth Mather.

The Norfolk Fire Department determined the alarm was fake, but when students were instructed to go back inside the school and resume classes, about 200 students refused. Mather said a number of students began fighting.

“It was actually very scary,” sophomore Erin Miller told WAVY.com. “We were out in the parking lot, and people brought their lunch out with them. They were throwing their food and everything. I got in my friend’s car with another friend. We were watching everything happen. Some kid was put in handcuffs after a fight.”

When a school security guard tried to break up the fight, Norfolk police say several students assaulted the security guard. Norfolk officers were already at the scene to help with crowd control during the fire alarm, and intervened. Police say a 16-year-old female student involved in the assault resisted arrest and was shot with a stun gun.

The teenager was arrested and charged with assault and battery, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. She was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor injuries, and taken to Juvenile Intake.

Police say the female security guard received injuries to the face and body that were not life-threatening.

A second fight erupted at another location on school grounds, police say. Norfolk officers responded and controlled the situation, taking into custody a 16-year-old male student. Charges are pending against him for assault and battery, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

“The incident was brought under control as quickly as possible, and we are still in the process of investigating, in cooperation with Norfolk Police,” Mather said in a NPS press release.

Because of the incident, all school activities for Friday evening have been cancelled, including Homecoming events. The Norview vs Granby football game is rescheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at ODU’s Powhatan Field.

Parents of Norview students were informed of the incident via a reverse phone call.

Christopher Miller, Erin’s father, told WAVY.com he was disturbed parents weren’t notified sooner. He feels things could have been handled differently.

“Well, I would have put it on lockdown. For the kids that have to walk home, contact parents for them to come get them, or make other arrangements for them to get home,” he said. “With violence going on at the school, it’s a little disturbing. They just told the kids to go ahead and go home.”

But Miller also said he’s had another child attend Norview, and aside from this incident, he still considers it a good school.

There will be additional police presence at Norview High School next week.

tl;dr out-of-control shitheads don't know how to act like proper young adults at a fire drill and decide to start fighting over something stupid most likely. Some students attacked police officers that were present so the cops were like "lol nope" and took them down a notch
