Police say a 12-year-old girl suspended from a Madison school showed up at the school, beat up a fellow student and injured two officers.
Authorities say the girl returned to Jefferson Middle School on Wednesday, assaulted a student and threatened another with a fire extinguisher.
Police were called and tried to de-escalate the situation, but the girl attacked two officers. One was treated for whiplash and shoulder injuries while the other suffered a split lip and abrasions.
