A gunshot rang out during a fight at a Philadelphia high school Friday afternoon. It happened just before noon at Benjamin Franklin High School on North Broad Street in the Spring Garden section. A group of students were fighting in a stairwell when the shot was fired. Officials found a spent shell casing but no gun. The school was put on lockdown as they searched the rest of the school. No one was injured. Police did take three individuals into custody, no word on if they are suspects or persons of interest. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said that they are looking at the school's surveillance video.
