"During Thursday's lunch at Dublin High, an altercation between several students resulted in a shelter-in-place. Police were called to campus to investigate. The shelter-in-place lasted from approximately noon to 1PM. Once the incident is investigated thoroughly and those involved are identified, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
"While we are incredibly disappointed in the students who caused the altercation, we are also frustrated by the many students who chose to video the altercation rather than disperse when asked, making it difficult for staff to intervene.
"As more information is verified, we will share what we can. That said, we will not release student names or share information that may interfere with an investigation of the incident."
The incident remains under active investigation. Anyone with information or video footage on the fight is asked to contact DPS at 925-833-6670.
