What are the details?
The station, citing a police report, said the fighting at Rome Middle School started between two girls around 8:18 a.m. outside the lunchroom.
School officials were at first able to separate the girls, WSB said, but one broke away from the school resource officer and tried to go after the other girl.
With that, the school resource officer tackled the girl to the ground to “prevent any more altercations from starting," the station said.
But when the officer was on the ground, the girl kicked gear off his vest and continued to scream until more officers arrived at the scene, WSB reported.

“Once other officers arrived we attempted to de-escalate the situation but [the students] continued to scream and cause a disruption in the school,” the report stated, according to the station.
Soon both girls were placed in handcuffs, WSB said — along with another girl who officers said is a relative of one of the fighting girls and who was trying to stop the officers.
But things didn't exactly calm down from there.
Two of the girls screamed at and threatened the other girl while they were on their way to the police station, WSB said, and one of the 14-year-old girls threw and kicked objects once she was in the interview room at the station.
More from WSB:
The 13-year-old was charged with five counts of felony obstruction of an officer and one count of misdemeanor simple battery. One 14-year-old girl was charged with felony interference with government property, five counts of felony obstruction of an officer, and one count of misdemeanor simple battery. The other 14-year-old was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of law enforcement officers.
None of the girls have been identified, the station added.
