'Gang Attack' Left Girl Bruised In High School Hallway

CHICAGO, IL - The mother of a girl who is shown being attacked in a cellphone video shot in the hallway at Morgan Park High School Friday said in an ABC-7 Chicago interview that she'd like police to be involved in a Chicago Public Schools investigation of the incident. Stacy Hart plans to give police a copy of the video showing an attack that left her daughter severely bruised.

ABC shared an interview with Hart and a video with Chicagoland television viewers over the weekend. In the interview, Hart referred to the incident as "a gang attack."

"My daughter could have died," she said

The attack on Hart's daughter, a sophomore, was in response to the victim's allegedly "liking" a Facebook post made by the boyfriend of the primary attacker, according to the report. Several other students became involved in the violence that took place in a hallway with lockers.
