Jacksonville Public Safety Director Mike Yaniero said officers were called to Northside High School just after 7 a.m. for reports of a physical altercation between students on the campus.

The first school resource officer responded within 20 seconds, and took a student into custody, Yaniero said.

Two students were hospitalized, but one of them “succumbed to their injuries,” Yaniero said. Neither minor is being identified.

Students returned to Northside High School, which is part of Onslow County School District, for the new school year on Monday.
