Updated to include information from Suffolk Police Department

This morning, King’s Fork Middle School was placed in a hold due to a student altercation, according to an email sent to parents. 

The email explained a hold is when staff and students are required to stay in their classrooms or stay out of access areas until the all-clear is announced.

Suffolk Police did arrive on scene, but no other staff or students were harmed. The email states there was no weapon involved. 

“The school administration implemented the hold as a precautionary measure to ensure the situation remained contained and that all individuals on campus stayed safe,” reads the email.

According to a media release from Suffolk Police, SPD responded to the school in reference to a person with a weapon call following a fight between two students. However, the release states no weapon was found, and the school was given the all-clear at 12:15 p.m. following a sweep of the interior and exterior of the building.
