“The charges include assault, criminal damaging and inciting a riot,” he said.
One student used pepper spray, and medics were called to treat people affected, including a school security guard.
One student was taken to a local hospital due to asthma as a result of the pepper spray, and another student was taken to a hospital by a parent, Brown said.
About a dozen Dayton Police Department cruisers responded to the school following the incident, according to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center.
Dayton Public Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli said the high school was ordered to shelter in place at approximately 11:45 a.m. after pepper spray was released in the school and that police were called to the school as a result of the incident.
“No one was seriously injured and the shelter-in-place was lifted at 12:30 p.m.,” Lolli said.
