“As the first student was being assaulted, additional students gathered, started recording the incident with their phones, and encouraging the fight,” Novato police said in a statement. “A second student stepped in to stop the fight and was also assaulted.” On Wednesday, investigators arrested eight students ranging in age from 12 to 14 and booked them into Marin County Juvenile Hall for investigation of conspiracy and felony assault, police said. No identifying information was released.
The injured students’ parents said their children were physically OK but emotionally shaken. Parents at the meeting rebuked officials for not preventing the assault although it was known at least a day earlier that trouble was brewing.“We had staff 20 yards away, on either side,” said John Matern, an assistant principal. “We were everywhere, but right there.”
