   Two teenage girls were arrested following an incident at a
   Winnipeg school on Thursday, police say.
   Officers responded to a report of an assault at the St. Mary's
   Road school, where a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were
   arrested and later released on undertakings, the Winnipeg
   Police Service said in an emailed statement on Friday.
   Const. Stephen Spencer said in the statement he could not
   confirm any other information, as the incident is still under
   investigation.
   He didn't have medical details, including how many people were
   assaulted, he said.
   In a separate statement sent to parents on Friday, the
   principal of Nelson McIntyre Collegiate said a Thursday
   incident at the school involving a small number of students led
   to a physical altercation where one student was hurt.
   Staff and other students intervened "to help de-escalate the
   situation and provide care to the injured student," said Kim
   Adair-Gagnon's statement, which the Louis Riel School Division
   shared with CBC News.
   The injured student’s parent was contacted and came to the
   school, and the student was taken to hospital for assessment,
   Adair-Gagnon's statement said.

   A police report was filed, and officers attended the school to
   gather information, the principal said.
   A school division spokesperson did not respond to questions
   Friday about the incident, pointing instead to the written
   statement sent to parents.
   That statement said in situations such as this, "appropriate
   followup actions are carried out in accordance with school
   division policies and procedures." It encouraged parents to
   remind their children of resources available to support them if
   needed.
   "Out of respect for the privacy of those involved, we are
   unable to share further details," Adair-Gagnon said in the
   statement.
