Girl taken to hospital as precaution after middle school fight

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Holly Shelter Middle School student was taken to the hospital after a fight with another student this morning.

New Hanover County Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Jerry Brewer says the principal and the mother of one of the girls involved asked for the child to be taken to the hospital as a precaution after she was reportedly kicked in the head during the fight with another girl. Brewer says he’s been told the student it OK.

Brewer says the SRO assigned to Holly Shelter says the two girls have been arguing for a while. He says the girl not taken to the hospital has been suspended from school.
