SOUTH BEND — Police from several departments broke up a series of multiple fights Tuesday afternoon (10/19/2021) at Clay High School.

County police officials said three students were taken into custody and taken to the Juvenile Justice Center.

County police were called to the school about 2:20 p.m. on reports of multiple fights.

The school had been evacuated for a possible gas leak, and the fights reportedly broke out in the cafeteria and the hallway after students reentered the school. The fights involved dozens, possibly as many as 100 students, police said.

County police were joined by South Bend and Mishawaka officers in breaking up the fights.

There were no immediate reports of any serious injuries.
