“At dismissal time Monday, a fourth-grade student was swinging a backpack and hit another fourth-grade student, causing injury,” According to an email from PSD spokesman Emily Shockley to The Coloradoan. “The student received immediate medical attention from school staff and medical personnel who responded to the school.”
According to Officer Brandon Barnes, the incident was reported to Fort Collins Police Services. Even if criminal charges were determined to be appropriate, they would not be applicable because both students are under the age of 10. According to Shockley, the school discovered a multi-tool in the backpack and collected it.
