2 school officers injured trying to stop fight at Pittsburgh Oliver Citywide Academy

PITTSBURGH — Two school police officers were injured following a fight at Oliver Citywide Academy in Pittsburgh’s Marshall-Shadeland neighborhood.

Pittsburgh Public Schools spokesperson Ebony Pugh said that the incident started with a fight involving six students inside of a classroom at the school on Brighton Road. The incident then spilled into the hallway and outside, causing students to gather.

Pittsburgh police were called to assist at the scene around 1:20 p.m.

Pugh said two school officers were injured while trying to stop the fight and will be taken to an urgent care to get their injuries checked out.

All of this comes just weeks after police say a 15-year-old student attacked and raped a teacher inside her classroom during the school day. The district said they made changes to improve security including adding a school police officer.
