quickly removed. >> what came about it, what was he doing, what was he thinking? >> i could not tell you what he was thinking at the moment but my thing is how does it even get that far. when you are a allowing kid in that type of a situation to sit there and physically go at each other, rather then help them come up with alternative ways to handle their behaviors. are you really helping them? >> reporter: in one instant, one unidentified adult is seen heard leaving the room, while a second stays to watch, and pushing the kids back in the brawl. >> spokesmen kevin feelly tells "action news" they are a wear the of the video and began an immediate investigation. >> the classroom is something that you just can tolerate. a fight in the classroom you cannot tolerate. we expect there would be some action taken as soon as we learn of the facts. >> reporter: you also understand your sonnies accountable for fighting in the middle of the class. >> i totally agree with you but we have adults there to

stop it. any other school if anything happens, what happens? a fight breaks out you have adults, coming in, okay, here we go, break it up. that wasn't happening. >> reporter: and now jackson says he wonders whether these fights have happened before and how frequently the school tells "action news" that they don't happen often. reporting live from reading, christie ileto for channel six "action news". upper darby police arrested five students today after a gun, bullets and marijuana were found at monsignor bonner archbishop prendergast high school today. police say an alert student told a staff member about the weapon just after 11:00. the catholic school was placed on lock down while officers searched the building. that is when police found the contraband inside of a girl's locker. four boys and a girl age 15 to 17, will be charged as juveniles with weapons and drug offenses. so this was a very big day and night on the philadelphia sports front, a big night for

criminal justice system, work with our police departments. there are a lot of good departments and good police officers who are doing a very important and successful job controlling crime but doing it consistent with civil liberties, privacy, our rights. we need to understand what is going on that causes people to reach for guns to settle minor disputes or to not the know how to keep guns out of the wrong hand. >> you say there is simply too many guns. >> yes. >> former mayors rendell and nutter, whom i know you know very well, tried to get harrisburg to pass legislation allowing philadelphia to establish its own stricter, gun laws, and philadelphia has in the been successful in their efforts to do that. >> um-hmm. well, that is because the gun lobby intimidates legislators from across pennsylvania. there is a big difference between respecting the second amendment, understanding that it does grant rights, and coming up with common sense

gun safety measures that are consistent with the constitution and which provide communities with more authority to be able to make laws that are suited to their particular conditions. i think it is a real shame what has happened in pennsylvania because of the power of the gun lobby. >> we will continue or one on one with hillary clinton tomorrow at 6:00 when we talk about pennsylvanians left behind by the economic recovery, whether compromise is still possible in washington, and after her huge win last night in new york, is diminishing the importance of the pennsylvania primary. that is on "action news" tomorrow night at 6:00 o'clock. clinton's rival bernie sanders will campaign at greater philadelphia expo in oaks tomorrow. he is also scheduled events in scranton and reading. sanders supporters spread his message today across the delaware valley. hip-hop artists and philadelphia native freeway,
