Oceanside schools ordered closed after immigration protests. California

“Oceanside middle and high schools were ordered closed today and Friday after yesterday’s melee at Oceanside High where about 250 student protesters faced off with police officers when they tried to break down a school gate.

Some students hurled food, milk cartons and plastic bottles at officers, prompting law enforcement to shoot pellets filled with pepper spray at the crowd’s feet, police said. Three boys threw chunks of concrete at officers and were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Oceanside Sgt. Leonard Mata said.”
