Four teenagers accused of breaking into a Minneapolis high school and beating a student and injuring a teacher during class have been charged.

Three 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, all males, were charged by juvenile petition with burglary and riot after the Jan. 22 incident at Southwest High School, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Tuesday.

“In this case, several teenagers who did not attend this school found a way to get in, disrupt a class and injure a student and a teacher. We decided to charge these four with burglary because it has tougher penalties than the lower-level assault charges," Freeman said.

A juvenile court judge will determine if they will be tried as adults. (It is BringMeTheNews’ policy not to name people charged as juveniles.)

According to the petition:

The four teenagers somehow got into the school through a locked door (there is only one door open during school hours, where visitors must sign in) around 12:15 p.m. on Jan. 22.
