Food Fight Sparks Brawls Among Students At Detroit School

DETROIT (AP) — Classes at an eastside Detroit high school were dismissed early Tuesday after a food fight sparked other fights involving students.

The food fight started during a lunch period at East English Village Preparatory Academy, the Detroit Public Schools Community District said in a statement.

No serious injuries were reported. Classes were canceled for the remainder of the day.

"After the school was settled and students returned to their classrooms, a police investigation into the fights determined that it could be gang-related and additional fights could occur," according to the district.

Extra security staff and counselors were to be sent to the school this week.
