Seventeen Asheville High School students were suspended after three fights broke out after school Dec. 16, officials said.

No one was seriously injured in the fights, which started at 3:30 p.m., according to school system spokesman Charlie Glazener.

An initial fight involving two students occurred off-campus in the parking lot at Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College, Glazener said.

The second fight broke out near the high school’s art building shortly thereafter and lasted less than a minute, Glazener said. 

A third fight broke out in the bus loop in front of the school. Order was restored relatively quickly, he noted.

No charges were reported, as of the Daily Planet’s press deadline. The suspensions are up to 10 days, pending investigation, officials said.
