Fox News just reported that parts of I-95 were closed down as police in riot gear attempted to restore order to a Miami high school after some sort of disturbance that resulted in dozens of arrests. Video of police loading student after student into vehicles for arrest provide an embarrassing visual of this story of a school under siege.

Edison Senior High School is now in lock down and there are reports of injuries. The campus police were forced to call in re-enforcements form the Miami-Dade police department who swarmed the school. Parents are being told not to come to the school.

From CBS2.com:

MIAMI (CBS) ― Miami police have called for police reinforcements at Miami Edison High School, after what preliminary reports are calling a “riot” broke out shortly after 11 am Friday.

Reports from the scene show dozens of police cars outside the school.

Chopper pictures from the scene show people who appear to be students being led away in handcuffs, and there were unconfirmed reports that shots had been fired at the school.

Officers in riot helmets could be seen outside the school, as police officers arrived in response to calls for police assistance.

Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss said his department received a call for emergency backup from the Miami-Dade school police.

Miami-Dade County schools have their own police force which patrols the schools, but can call in officers from other departments when serious problems occur.

Moss said ‘several’ arrests were made, and a small number of police officers received minor injuries in what was described as a large scale disturbance.

“Every contingency is being taken so nobody else gets hurt,” Moss said.

CBS station WFOR-TV’s chopper photographer Tony Jerez said he watched several stretchers taken into the school by City of Miami paramedics.

The area is known to be gang infested.

Update: Reports are that the injured include 1 student and 3 police officers.
