Girl, 11, dies following fight

An 11-year-old girl died in the US following an after-school fight at a primary school in California, but authorities say they have no plans for arrests.

Police said the girl died in hospital hours after the fight with another 11-year-old girl outside the school.

Authorities say Friday’s fight did not appear to be especially serious or violent; no weapons were used and neither girl was knocked to the ground.

But Deputy Chief of Police Robert Luna said that when the girl returned to an after-school programme, adults noticed she was not feeling well.

She was hospitalised and had emergency surgery but died about six hours after the fight.
