A Baton Rouge police officer was injured and taken to a hospital with a broken hip and head lacerations. Officials said a loaded gun was found in a grassy area in front of the school. 

Several students were arrested, including a 17-year-old male charged with second-degree battery of a police officer and five 16- and 17-year-olds charged with disturbing the peace by fistic encounter.

The school educates high school students who have been suspended or expelled from other East Baton Rouge Parish public schools. The school remains open with increased security, EBR Schools Director of Communications Ben Lemoine said, according to WAFB-TV.
