PLYMOUTH, Minn. – For the second time in two weeks, a fight at Armstrong High School in Plymouth led to police being called to the school to assist.
Last week, students were sheltered in place and told to learn from home the next day a fight caught on camera led to a massive police response.
Plymouth’s police chief told WCCO that it took 10 officers to effectively end last week’s fight. The school said at the time that it was launching an investigation in collaboration with the department.
Before that investigation could be completed, a second fight brought police back to the school. In a letter to parents, Armstrong principal Erick Norby said it appeared the two fights were related.
The district declined to provide further explanation and declined the opportunity to answer any questions during the second week.
Norby’s letter tells parents that the school cannot share names of students involved for privacy reasons.
“They need to reveal the names of the children,” said Mike Winer, whose children are now adults. “If you don’t do that – the children are not identified – there are no consequences for them. There are also no consequences for the parents.”
Plymouth police say the initial investigation is ongoing. School was back to normal on Thursday.
