"Our top story tonight: a party turns dark after a fight breaks out, leaving two people in critical condition and several others in the hospital with minor injuries. We have Lee Jurns on the scene to tell us more. Lee?"
"Thanks Diane. What was supposed to be a happy ending for a local high school has turned into a nightmare. After winning the baseball state finals, the Peach Creek team and their friends met up here, at the home of Sean and Laura Bradley, for a celebration. However, near ten o' clock last night, a group of boys from both the neighborhood and the opposing team showed up, many under the influence and almost all carrying non-lethal weapons and a fight broke out. It's not clear who started the fight or why, but police say that dozens fled the scene while dozens more where caught in the fight, leaving nearly fifty students with non life threatening injuries.
"However, a boy by the name of Andrew Ward was critically injured after having his head smashed in with a baseball bat. Police are saying if the next couple of surgeries are successful he should live, but with an expected extent of brain damage. The person responsible for Ward's injuries is still under investigation.
"The other boy in critical condition is a senior of Peach Creek, Eddward Marion. After being attacked by the party-crashers Marion was caught in a fit of hysteria and actually fell off the patio of the house, falling over forty feet in what is now being labeled a suicide attempt. The only eye-witness, a close friend of Marion's, had nothing to say of the incident.
"We are wishing all of those injured in the event a swift recovery. Back to you, Diane."
