VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say two people have been arrested following a parents’ brawl that interrupted a Southern California kindergarten graduation ceremony.

School officials placed Puesta del Sol Elementary in the desert town of Victorville on lockdown Wednesday morning after a fight broke out among a group of parents.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Karen Hunt says witnesses told deputies several mothers were involved in an argument and it got physical in a field near the ceremony. Several men then jumped into the fray, and the incident turned into a brawl.

A deputy following up on leads later arrested two people — Marina Vargas and Queiona Burt — on suspicion of being a disruptive presence at a school. Witnesses said they were the main instigators.

There were no reported injuries, and no children were hurt.

Police didn’t say whether more arrests are planned.
