BALTIMORE — A Hampden middle/high school was put on lockdown this morning after a student brought a knife to school and got in a fight with other students.
The incident injured a teacher, as was the girl who brought the knife, said a Baltimore City Public Schools spokesperson.
It happened this morning at the Academy for College and Career Exploration, on 36th Street.
BCPS said the girl brought a knife and got in a fight with at least three other students. She accidentally cut herself above her eye, but it's not clear what caused the injury. That student was taken into custody.
A teacher intervened and suffered minor injuries; it's not clear if the injuries were from the knife.
The school was on lockdown from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., and is now back to normal operations, with no early dismissal.
The school system said more information is forthcoming, as police continue to investigate.
