A 25-year-old man walked on to a Mesa high school campus Wednesday and assaulted four ROTC students.

According to the Mesa Police Department, Ceaser Ruben Meraz, a former student of Mesa High School, attacked the students around 6:40 a.m.

The school resource officer was informed about the incident as he arrived to start his work hours and immediately located and detained Meraz, who admitted to assaulting the students.

Meraz was cited for the altercation. He was released, but was later taken back into custody and charged.

    What were the circumstances? Why did he assult them? How did he assault them? Was anyone injured? What ended the altercation? Without these and similar pieces of information, this is not news.

    said he just felt like getting into a fight and that's why he did it. I'm guess just fists were used. How come an unauthorized person was able to enter the school and start fights? Oh wait, the left wants us to believe security isn't an issue at schools but AR's and magazines over 10 rounds are the problem, silly me, my mistake.

    the building. (Sorry hit wrong button).... Next, thankfully he did not have a gun. If he did, then even with an armed school resources officer, he would have been able to do some serious damage. Finally, I think it is important to keep in mind that our schools need to be secured. Only authorized people should be allowed to enter the school. Consider, yet again, that we spend much more money to keep an inmate in jail than we do to educate and protect our children. Until this stops, losers like Ceaser will graduate with sub-par educations and continue this sort of desperate action.
