Wild ending to school Christmas pageant
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Parents videotaping a North Carolina
school Christmas pageant got a bonus of sorts when a wild
fight broke out in the audience. WGHP-TV in High Point,
N.C., said Wednesday that several parents sent in their
video footage after the Tuesday night event at Oak Hill
Elementary School degenerated into name-calling and
fisticuffs, not to mention hair-pulling and a few thrown
chairs. Some parents said the fight broke out among three
women who had a long history of disdain for one another.
More adults either joined in or were trying to separate
the combatants. Police were summoned but most everyone
had split by the time the squad cars arrived. “We were
there to see our children,” Marseddez Lopez told WGHP.
“It’s not fair to them.”
