Fights take place in high schools around the country every day, but footage of one fight in an Indianapolis high school has garnered attention not just for the fight, but for the reaction of the staff member watching the event.
The video shows a violent fight involving a male student hitting a female student at Northwest High School. The video also shows a staff member screaming at the students to stop, but not physically intervening.
“Northwest Community High School protocol calls for staff members to diffuse the situation verbally, then signal for support from administration and school police,” a statement from an Indianapolis Public Schools said. IPS is now investigating the event.
