FORT WORTH<\/span><\/st1:city> \u2014 A 15-year-old student was shot in the chest \u2014 possibly by a Fort Worth<\/st1:city> police officer \u2014 during a fight at South<\/st1:placename> Hills<\/st1:placetype> High School<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place> Friday afternoon. The boy, whose age was previously reported as 16, was transported to John<\/st1:placename> Peter<\/st1:placename> Smith<\/st1:placename> Hospital<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>. His condition was not available. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About 1:30 p.m. Friday, a Fort Worth<\/st1:city> police officer and a school monitor were told that some teenage boys were gathering behind South<\/st1:placename> Hills<\/st1:placetype> High School<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>. They confronted the teens, believed to be gang members, when they were attacked, according to Fort Worth<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> police spokesman Lt. Gene Jones. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jones said that during an intense struggle, the officer fired his weapon. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fort Worth<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:city> school district spokeswoman Sharon Parker told the Star-Telegram that the officer had shot the student. But Jones said it was unclear who shot the boy and would not say if any other weapons were involved. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The officer was taken to Harris Methodist Fort Worth hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Parker said that “at no time were the students in jeopardy.” <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The school was locked down after the shooting, but students had been released by 4 p.m. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to a mother of a student at South Hills, a fight involving an undetermined number of students broke out in front of the school. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sylvia Castillo, whose son Michael is a 15-year-old student at South Hills, said she was told by her son that Fort Worth<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> police arrived at the scene and that a student had been shot. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The students were moved inside and the school was locked down, but another fight broke out, Castillo said.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Michael said they were throwing books, whatever they could get their hands on,” Castillo said. “There were a lot of kids fighting.” <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He told her that the fight was broken up, and that the students were ushered into classrooms and told to stay there. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s upset, but he\u2019s apparently safe,” she said. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

South<\/span><\/st1:placename> Hills<\/st1:placetype> High School<\/st1:placetype>, located in south Fort Worth<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> off McCart Avenue<\/st1:address><\/st1:street>, has about 1,400 students. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lucero Garcia, a 16-year-old junior at South Hills, said she didn\u2019t see or hear any of the shooting, but that there was a large fight outside the lunchroom. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She said that teachers and police were trying to get students to back away when a second fight broke out. Garcia said she saw students with bloody faces and black eyes.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In December 2005, security was tightened at South Hills after students were involved in a fight at a park behind the school. One of the students was brandishing a pellet gun.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
