MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –Classes at Minneapolis South High School went smoothly on Friday, one day after a food fight led to a brawl involving nearly 300 of students that sent four to the hospital with minor injuries.

Minneapolis Public School officials say their goal was to make sure South High on Friday was as normal as possible for students. Still, criminal charges could be filed Deputy Chief Kris Arneson says, as investigators are going over surveillance video.

The food fight was not the first incident between African-American and Somali students. Parents and students both say tensions have been high between the two groups for quite some time.

“It’s a racial problem that has been going on and it needs to be addressed, and South High has not been addressing it,” parent Lynette Vizenor said.
