GARLAND, Texas (AP) — Nearly three dozen people, including 27 high school students, have been arrested and charged with participating in a gang street fight organized on the Internet and videotaped.

The tape helped investigators identify the students involved in the off-campus fight March 3. The suspects attended Garland High School or South Garland High School, whose members arranged the time and place on the Internet, police Officer Joe Harn said.

Several participants were injured, including one person who suffered a broken arm.
