VIDEO: 8 people, including 37-year-old parent, storm classroom, attack 14-year-old girl at Southern Guilford High School, deputies say

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A group of eight people, including an adult, stormed a classroom and attacked a 14-year-old girl at Southern Guilford High School, according to the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office.

At about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, deputies say six students, an 18-year-old and a 37-year-old parent went into a classroom at SGHS and attacked a student.

“To think that they would bring that type of activity to a school was very disturbing,” said Capt. Brain Hall, the SRO captain for the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. “Instead of trying to help talk them down out of this we found ourselves with a parent who actually participated in the assault.”

Three of the students attend SGHS. The other three go to different schools in the county.

Investigators believe the attack was connected to an earlier fight that happened at a bus stop on Monday. A 16-year-old girl who attends SGHS may have led the fight, according to Hall.
