The teen’s mom tells KPRC 2 that at least one coach and school official at Waller High School knew threats were being made and knew something like this was going to happen.Senior baseball player Luke Fourrier suffered a concussion, a broken nose, a black eye, and lots of bumps and scratches.The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says the fight between several football players and baseball players stemmed from an incident over the weekend, off-campus.
“There was a kid looking in the window, flipping him off, yelling and screaming at him,” adds Luke’s mother. Luke says he and another student went to an assistant principal and told them something was going to happen.“We told him our bit and said ‘These people have been following us around and threatening us,’ and he said, ‘Give me five minutes, I’ll take care of it,’” Luke said.“It was like, we were followed pretty much throughout the parking lot and the group kept getting bigger and bigger, and before I knew it, I was punched,” said Luke.
“How many times do kids have to go talk about, ‘Somebody’s following us, something’s going to happen,’ before your AP alerts your principal or even a resource officer?” his mom added. “My message is, you can’t throw off these kids to the side and say you’re going to take care of it and take no action,” said Luke.“Waller ISD is aware of an incident involving Waller High School students that occurred after school on Monday, April 4. That incident is under investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and WISD officials. The safety and security of all WISD students is the district’s highest priority.
