In a letter sent home to families, Boston Prep administrators said it started as a fight at the boys' basketball game.

"The school has been secured and there is no ongoing threat to our community," the letter from Executive Director Meekerley Sanon stated, noting that staff on site was able to disperse the crowd and ensure safety in the aftermath of the violence.

Counselors are available at the school to anyone impacted by the incident.

No arrests have been made, according to police.
