POMONA - A fight involving three girls on Friday at Garey High School ended with police making 13 arrests.
The after-school incident began when students converged to watch a fight between three girls. A school resource officer was trying to break up the fight, according to a Pomona Unified School District news release.
When the officer got to the fight, one girl was on the ground getting kicked by two other girls. When he tried to get her up, another student attacked him, said Pomona Police Chief Joe Romero.
"It appears that a few students saw an officer trying to restrain the girls and got involved in a situation that they did not understand and should have stayed out of," Superintendent Thelma Melendez de Santa Ana said.
Pomona police and other agencies were called to the school to curtail the disturbance.
Police arrested the 13 students on suspicion of fighting or disobeying an officer's order to disperse, according to the news release.
The disturbance was under control within 90 minutes, according to the news release.
