A brawl involving multiple juveniles at Livermore High School during a basketball game Tuesday evening resulted in at least one local teen being hurt, police said.
Officers responded at about 8:40 p.m. to a report of the altercation in the LHS gym’s foyer, according to a social media post by Livermore Police Department officials.
Emergency medical services were also called to the scene, LHS principal Roxana Mohammed wrote the following day to the school community.
Upon arrival, police officers located a 17-year old Livermore boy who had reportedly lost consciousness during the incident, LPD officials said. The suspects fled the scene ahead of officers’ arrival, they added.
Police investigated reports that one suspect displayed a gun, but ultimately determined they were untrue.
“Based on our investigation to date, no firearm was involved,” LPD officials said on Thursday as part of an updated statement.
“The safety of our students is our highest priority, therefore, the remainder of the game was postponed out of an abundance of caution,” Mohammed wrote. “When the game is rescheduled, we will ensure that increased security will be present.”
LPD’s Criminal Investigations Bureau is conducting an investigation into the incident with assistance from the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District and school resource officers.
As an active investigation, LPD is not currently releasing additional information, department spokesperson Azenith Smith confirmed Wednesday morning with Livermore Vine.
LPD officials urge anyone with information about the incident to call the department’s anonymous tip line at 925-371-4790.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect Livermore Police Department’s determination that no firearms were involved in the fight.
