Group attacks student at Sacramento City Unified high school

Six individuals entered Sacramento City Unified’s John F. Kennedy High School Thursday and attacked a student, according to KCRA3. They entered the school around 2:20 p.m. without permission. 

Two of those in the group, unaffiliated with the school, entered a classroom and sprayed a student with pepper spray. The attack left the student, as well as a staff member who attempted to break up the fight, needing treatment for the spray. One person was transported to the hospital, although it is not clear whether it was the student or the staff member.

The school believes all or most of those who entered the school for the attack were adults. Police are still working to identify those involved. School staff handed over two individuals to the Sacramento Police Department when officers arrived on scene.
