High School Students War In Half-Way Tree
All ‘hell’ reportedly broke loose in the Half-Way-Tree area of Kingston yesterday, after warring students from Excelsior and Ardenne high schools clashed in a violent mêlée that left several students from both institutions with stab wounds.
The principals of both schools are said to be having discussions in an attempt to defuse the situation, and a strong police presence is expected in the Half-Way Tree area this morning as part of an attempt to avert another clash between the warring students. The police are also asking teachers from both schools to come to the Half-Way Tree Transportation Centre in order to help ensure that students go directly to classes, then back home in the afternoon.
