A security guard had broken up the fight prior to the arrival of DPS officers and all of the involved parties fled on foot.

The staff member then parked her vehicle and left the structure.

at 9:25 a.m. on Feb. 11, a student complained of an irregular heartbeat. When the officers and paramedics arrived, they concluded that the student was suffering from an anxiety attack and that he did not require medical treatment.
