St. Paul police detained three suspects on Wednesday afternoon following an assault involving a number of suspects attacking a student at the High School for Recording Arts at 1166 W. University Ave.
Squads were called to the public charter school around 4 p.m. on a report of a group fighting, according to Sgt. Toy Vixayvong, a police spokesman.
When officers arrived, they reported seeing at least 10 suspects assaulting a single victim directly in front of the school. Upon police arrival, the group dispersed, but officers were able to apprehend two juveniles and an 18-year-old man, Vixayvong added.
One of the juveniles had a gun in his backpack.
Investigators will examine security footage to determine whether the group entered the school or brandished weapons. The victim was transported to Regions Hospital for evaluation for injuries that were not considered life threatening.
