An 18-year-old student was transported to the hospital about noon Tuesday with wounds that were not life-threatening, Moffett said. A 15-year-old was arrested and may be charged with aggravated battery.

It’s unclear what kind of weapon was used in the fight, or what the two students were arguing over.
