Fight at Colton middle school prompts investigation and citations

A fight between a boy and a girl at Jehue Middle School in Colton, California, has sparked an investigation after a video showed the boy slamming the girl into a table. The incident, which occurred on March 13, has drawn attention from civil rights leaders. Colton police reported that both students were cited, with the boy described as a victim who was hit with a metal object before the video began. Community leaders are calling for the citations against the girl to be rescinded, labeling her as the victim.
