WORDS AFTER A GROUP WAS CAUGHT
ON CAMERA ATTACKING TWO NYPD
OFFICERS IN TIMES SQUARE.
WE’RE GOING TO START WITH
BREAKING NEWS.
TWO STUDENTS STABBED AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN QUEENS.
>> PEI-SZE CHENG IS JOINING US
LIVE FROM QUEENS VILLAGE.
HOW ARE THE KIDS DOING?
>> Reporter: WE’RE NOT SURE.
THEY WERE STABBED AND SENT TO THE HOSPITAL.
WE SAW ONE OF THEM IN A VIDEO.
HE WAS STABBED IN THE SHOULDER.
IT APPEARS HE WILL BE OKAY.
I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THE OTHER
ONE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO THAT
HAS BEEN CIRCULATING AMONG THE
STUDENTS.
IT SHOWS A BRAWL IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE HALLWAYS.
WE’RE TOLD IT HAPPENED BETWEEN SEVENTH AND EIGHTH PERIODS.
THERE WERE A LOT OF KIDS IN THE
HALL. THAT’S WHEN YOU SWITCH CLASSES
AND ONE PERSON SAID, THE
STUDENTS WERE HYSTERICAL.
THEY WERE SCREAMING BECAUSE IT
WAS SO VIOLENT. SEVERAL STUDENTS, FIVE OR SIX OF
THEM, SEEMED TO BE BEATING UP ON ONE KID, KICKING, PUNCHING, AND
APPARENTLY STABBING.
TWO KIDS WERE STABBED.
WE’RE NOT SURE WHY THEY WERE
STABBED.
WE HAVE SOME VIDEO OF HIM BEING
PUT ON TO A STRETCHER AS THE
AMBULANCE ARRIVED.
WE ARE UNCLEAR ABOUT HOW THE
OTHER ONE IS.
WE’RE ALSO TOLD THAT WHILE
POLICE WERE HERE, THEY WERE TRYING TO SEE.
THEY FOUND A GUN AS WELL AT THE
SCENE OF THE FIGHT. THEY’RE ALSO AT THIS POINT
TRYING TO ASCERTAIN IF THAT GUN
IS A REAL GUN OR AN AIR GUN.
THIS CAUSED COMPLETE CHAOS.
THIS IS MARTIN VAN BUREN HIGH
SCHOOL.
WE’RE TOLD THERE ARE SEVERAL
SCHOOLS WITHIN THIS ONE
BUILDING, AND AS MANY AS 28 EXITS.
STUDENTS SAY THAT IT WAS QUITE SCARY, EVEN IF THEY DIDN’T SEE
WHAT HAPPENED, BECAUSE THEY WERE
PUT ON LOCKDOWN FOR A VERY LONG
TIME WHILE POLICE TRIED TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
BUT ALSO, GET PEOPLE THE MEDICAL
ATTENTION THEY NEEDED. WE SPOKE TO A FEW STUDENTS AND
HERE’S WHAT THEY TOLD US.
>> THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN SEVENTH
PERIOD AND EIGHTH PERIOD.
BETWEEN SEVENTH PERIOD AND
EIGHTH PERIOD.
>> AND YOU ONLY HAVE EIGHT PERIODS IN A DAY IN.
>> YES.
IT WAS THE LAST PERIOD OF THE
DAY.
>> HOW FRIGHTENING WAS THIS THAT IT HAPPENED HERE.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE SCARED.
IT WAS A LOCKDOWN. EVERYBODY WAS LOCKED IN THE
LIBRARY OR THE GYM.
>> NOTHING LIKE THIS.
PEOPLE ARE AT RISK OF DYING.
>> SO DEFINITELY SHOCKING WHEN
YOU SEE THE VIOLENCE USED IN THAT VIDEO.
NOW, WE’RE TOLD THAT THIS
SCHOOL, THE KIDS SAY, THERE
AREN’T NORMALLY METAL DETECTORS.
THEY DID BRING THEM IN OR HALLOWEEN.
I GUESS THERE’S A HEIGHTENED
SENSITIVITY AROUND THAT TIME BUT THEY ARE NOW SAYING, MAYBE IT’S
A GOOD IDEA TO PUT SOME METAL
DETECTORS HERE. WE HAVE YET TO HEAR, WE’LL WAIT
TO HEAR MORE FROM THE D.O.E.
A LOT OF KIDS WANT TO KNOW IF
