HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) – An altercation Tuesday night during an
elementary school Christmas program is caught on tape.
Children in the first through third grades had just completed about
three-quarters of the program when a fight broke out among three parents
in the audience, according to Guilford County Schools' spokesman Chad
Campbell.
Witnesses said the argument lasted about ten minutes.
"My daughter was on stage singing at the time when my sister-in-law
realized they were arguing," said Marseddez Lopez, who captured the
argument on her camcorder. "We were gathered there to see our children
perform, it's not fair to them."
Lopez said from what she saw, the fight involved two parents and another
person she described as a school volunteer.
By the time High Point police arrived at the school, the fight had ended
and many people had already left. Police have cleared the scene and no
arrests were made. No one was seriously hurt in the fight.
