FBISD and Press Give Different Accounts On Fight

Yesterday a fight broke out at Thurgood Marshall High School. All that is really known is that several fights broke out. One student was sent to the hospital complaining of back pain. The Fort Bend ISD said only eight students were involved. However, read the comments section (or the peanut gallery as I call it) and quite a few people state that it involved way more than eight students. The chronicle did have one humorous line though;
.
"School district police were assisted by officers Missouri City and Stafford."
.
I wonder what agency officers Mo City and Stafford work for. I know, I know, just semantics.
.
.
However, Fort Bend Now has a story on the same incident. Some interesting statements in this story. It claims there was a reporter inside the school who was escorted off the campus. The story quotes anonymous teachers and students who claim about 200 students were involved in about 18 different fights around the campus. They accuse the FBISD administration of "white washing" the whole incident.
.
Who do we believe?
