The Martin Luther King High School attack is not the only fight that broke out recently at the Riverside Unified School District

On Wednesday, April 26, 2023, the Riverside Police Department responded to student unrest at Ramona High School, where an 18-year-old student was refusing to follow directions given to him by the school resources officer and a school administrator and resisted any attempts to detain him.

Soon his 14-year-old sister attacked the police officer, resulting in both siblings being taken into custody.

Following the two altercations at Martin Luther King HS and Ramona HS, Riverside USD shared a statement that read:

"Since the incident occurred, District staff has been working to ensure the safety and rights of all students are considered and promptly responded to. We are able to verify that the student involved will no longer be attending King High School."

Despite being expelled, many believe the transgender student will attack again and demand he be dealt with harshly.
