Fights spur lockdown at Lincoln High

Posted: October 11, 2012

Three separate fights caused Lincoln High School in Northeast Philadelphia to be locked down for 45 minutes Tuesday, officials said.

City police arrested seven students, said Fernando Gallard, a spokesman for the Philadelphia School District.

The lockdown started at 1:15 p.m. and was lifted about 2, Gallard said.

Lincoln, on Ryan Avenue in Mayfair, has about 1,800 students. - Kristen A. Graham
