At approximately 11:07 a.m., Thursday, February 7, 2019 Troopers responded to Glasgow High School located at 1901 S. College Avenue, Newark in reference to multiple fights involving students. Several Delaware State Police units, assisted by other allied law enforcement agencies were able to break up the fights and secure those students who were involved.
