Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Recent incidents at Buffalo Public Schools that led to Buffalo Police getting involved have some wondering how often this happens.

Rumore says if there's a lack of discipline at schools, it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

While the incident at McKinley High is getting much of the attention, other incidents of violence are also cause for concern.  WBEN was on the scene Wednesday as multiple Buffalo Police units were summoned to Southside Elementary as two 7th grade students were involved in a fight inside the school.  One of the two students was arrested following the fight and we're told there are increased incidents of fights inside the school recently.
