11. School didn't call an ambulance and didn't call the police
Fri Jun 7, 2024, 02:17 PM

From the them.us article:
“The school did not call an ambulance. The school did not file a police report. Students and families were not notified. It wasn’t until our rally was announced yesterday that authorities began to move,” Finke wrote on Instagram, comparing the two attacks and officials’ responses. “Cobalt lived. Thank goddess. Nex did not. Please help us make sure there is no next time.”

The Minnetonka Police Department said in a statement to CNN that it is investigating an attack that day at Hopkins High School as “a possible hate crime,” but said “details remain limited as the case was reported to police after school had ended for the day.” Hopkins High School said it is investigating “an act of violence” that “involved a student who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community.”

“We will address any issues that compromise the safety and inclusivity of our school environment,” the school told CNN in a statement. “We support and stand by any group that is marginalized, including our LGBTQ+ scholars and staff.”

Minnetonka Police Chief Scott Boerboom tells CNN Sovereign’s mother reported the incident to the police department the day it happened and he was not made aware of it until the following Monday.
