6 students charged in fight over seat in Citadel cafeteria
READING, Pa. -

Lunchtime turned chaotic Thursday at Reading Intermediate High School -- the Citadel.

Several officers responded to the school around 12:15 p.m. for the report of a large fight that resulted in two students being hurt, police said.

A 14-year-old boy will be charged with rioting and disorderly conduct, said police, adding that five others will face misdemeanor charges in juvenile court.

The fight, police said, started because someone took someone else's seat.
