It happened just before noon inside St. Cloud Tech High School. A police spokesperson says the school resource officer responded to a "large physical fight" and due to the number of students involved, numerous St. Cloud Police officers were dispatched. 

St. Cloud Tech officials took immediate security steps and put the school in lock down mode. Police say some minor injuries were reported but no major injuries. 

Police say regular activities resumed by about 1 p.m., but officers stayed on scene for the rest of the day.
