A massive brawl at Bloom Trail High School in Chicago Heights Friday might have started over french fries.
As many as 20 students leapt into the melee, with security guards struggling to get the situation under control.
But the situation is not what it looks like, Superintendent Dr. Lenell Navarre told WGN Friday, and is currently under investigation.
"Based up on the school's initial investigation, the incident that occurred today was not the result of a fight," Navarre told WGN.
Several students are facing charges, WGN reports.
