SWISSVALE — Police say a girl pulled a fire alarm at a school east of Pittsburgh so she could fight with another girl while students evacuated.

Swissvale police say the 13-year-old girl was arrested Tuesday after the incident at West Junior High School in the Woodland Hills School District. The district earlier this week asked Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala to investigate the possibility of gang activity because of several fights at the district's high school this month.

The girl remains in a juvenile detention center Wednesday along with a 13-year-old boy. Police say the boy is charged with inciting a riot and other counts for allegedly encouraging the fight to continue.

In addition, Brumbaugh estimates the township would save nearly $6,000 a year on heating, air conditioning, lighting and other operational costs.Township Council Chairman David Fryer says the idea is not cast in stone.
