Student stunned with Taser, officer suffers broken ankle in scuffle at high school
A student and police officer quarreled Thursday morning inside a north Fort Worth high school, and both left bound for a hospital, police said.
A school resource officer at Keller Central High School went to a counseling office and encountered a suicidal 16-year-old student, a Fort Worth police spokesman said.
The youth and officer fought about 10:45 a.m., and the officer stunned the student with a Taser, police said. The student was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital to be observed. The officer suffered a broken ankle and was also taken to a hospital.
The school, at Ray White Road and Kroger Drive, was placed in soft lockdown, which means school employees control who enters and leaves.
