    Things are still a bit tense here at CSU. Simeon coach Robert Smith came out of the locker room to make sure his family was ok.

    Can't be stressed enough that CPS security did a good job. When the incident flared up and then afterwards with the teams in locker area

    Hearing that shots may have been fired outside. Simeon players not being allowed to leave the locker room.

    A melee breaks out on the court because Morgan Park was salty. Now a fight in the hallways. Smh.

    The Simeon team is now being allowed to leave. Will likely have a police escort out of the building.

    I've finally left CSU. Still a lot of police around. Still a chopper flying around overhead.

    Here's the deal with the Morgan Park/Simeon situation. Teams were shaking hands after the game when some pushing and shoving occurred.

    Next thing you know, fans tried to get involved, but security did a fine job of keeping them away. More pushing and shoving between teams.

    Started to get a little crazy. Teams were ushered to their locker room. Security then evacuated the arena.

    I waited inside a while, hoping to talk to Morgan Park for my column. Media was told neither team was going to talk.

    Children crying, adults running to their car, some teenagers acting like idiots. At least 40 squad cars stormed the campus.
