GONZALES - Police were called to a local middle school after a fight between students got out of hand Wednesday.

The Gonzales Police Department confirmed that officers were called to Gonzales Middle School early Wednesday afternoon in response to a fight involving several students. Police say all involved were minors.

One student was also sent to the hospital as a result of the fight, according to a family member.
