ENID — A fight that sent a Longfellow Middle School student to the hospital Tuesday remains under investigation.

An Enid Public Schools campus police report lists that the boy suffered apparent broken bones, possible internal injuries, severe lacerations, unconsciousness and apparent minor injury.

The report also lists the offense as “aggravated battery” and indicates it was a hate/bias incident.

EPS Superintendent Shawn Hime said he was told that during the lunch recess Tuesday, two students got into a verbal altercation that became physical. Teachers supervising the playground ran to the fight, which was stopped. School administrators called 911 for ambulance assistance, as well as parents.

“The (Enid Public Schools) Police Department is investigating the situation, and legal charges are pending,” Hime said. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our students. Our thoughts and prayers are with the student as he recovers from his injuries.”

According to a report filed by campus police, officers responded to Longfellow, 900 E. Broadway, in reference to a fight around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. The school serves sixth through eighth grade.

When officers arrived, Life and Enid Fire Department were on scene and left with one teen in the ambulance with lights and sirens activated. A secretary told officers the name of the minor, which has been redacted throughout the report, was in the ambulance and had suffered several injuries.

Officers spoke to Assistant Principal Jennifer Cruz. She said the teen in the ambulance had some head injuries and also was knocked unconscious for about a minute, according to the report.

The other male student involved in the fight was called into the office. He said he was playing dodgeball on the blacktop when he accidentally bumped into the teen and said, “My bad,” according to the report. He said the other teen reportedly told him he needed to “go back to the islands,” meaning the Marshall Islands, according to the report. The other student said they began to push each other, and then he punched the teen in the face. He said after the teen fell to the asphalt, he kept hitting him until someone screamed, and he stopped, according to the report.

Campus police spoke to the injured teen’s mother and relayed what they had been told. Campus police did not speak with the injured boy due to the injuries he had sustained. Campus police took photos of his injuries and said they would contact the family later.

Integris Bass Baptist Health Center spokeswoman Anita Leutkemeyer said the injured teen was in fair condition Wednesday evening.

District Attorney Mike Fields said because of the age of those involved, he was prohibited by state statute from commenting because certain juvenile proceeding are to remain confidential.

Messages left with the injured teen’s mother were not returned Wednesday.
