Fan Melee Erupts at Girls Basketball Game. The Horror. The Horror.

PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) - A fight broke out in the stands of a girls high school basketball game, prompting police to fire Tasers to stop it and clear the gym, authorities said. Nine people face charges.

Witnesses said Tuesday night's melee, involving dozens of fans, began in an upper deck and spilled onto the floor. It was apparently sparked by an earlier dispute between students of the two rival schools, Prattville and Stanhope Elmore.

``Initially, there were 30, then it started spreading like cockroaches,'' said another parent, Joanne Heningburg.

Police hit some participants with Tasers, which can incapacitate a person with an electrical jolt, Wadsworth said.

The fight was captured on video and shown on television.

``People were screaming and running,'' Prattville cheerleader Cherish Cartee said. ``Girls lost their cell phones. Keys got lost. It's something I will never forget.''

--------------------------------------------
Way to put it in perspective, Cherish. :eyes:
