300 Turn Out for Memorial Violence Meeting

Channel3000:

There have been six incidents of violence at the school in the past week.

"It's pretty obvious that there is some gang issues related to what happened at school yesterday," said Lt. Tony Peterson.

Peterson said there have now been 40 arrests and citations at Memorial this school year.

Following a freedom of information request, the district released surveillance tape to News 3 showing a student waving a knife following an open gym night. Later, two others got into a fight.

Weapons, including a box cutter and a 9 mm handgun have also been seized from Memorial students.
