ROMEO, Mich. -- A local high school football game turned violent after the marching band became a target of rocks and paint.
One student was struck by a rock and several band uniforms were damaged by red face paint.
The game, which took place at Powell Junior High on Friday night, was played between Romeo High School and Macomb Dakota.
"We are not sure what they were using to throw (at the band members)," Capt. John Roberts said. "Apparently, from what we gather, no one saw who threw the items but the matter remains under investigation."
No one was seriously injured.
Dakota school officials are cooperating with police.
The Romeo Marching Band recently purchased the new uniforms, which cost $50,000.
The incident remains under investigation.
