A high school student at Benjamin Franklin High School in Highland Park jumped from a four-story building after being punched by a classmate during a physical altercation that was captured on video. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. Wednesday, with an elderly teacher attempting unsuccessfully to intervene between the two students before one of them, who was verbally threatened and physically assaulted, ran and then leaped over a railing to his death. The school went into lockdown following the fatal fall, and while no formal charges have been filed against the aggressor, the LAPD has not released any identifying information about the involved students.

Story summary
On September 30, Xavier Nungarary, a 17-year-old senior at Benjamin Franklin High School in Highland Park, California, died after falling from the fourth floor of his school building. The incident occurred around 1 pm while some students were leaving for lunch. According to video footage, Nungarary was involved in a physical altercation with another student inside a classroom before fleeing and jumping over a railing. Witnesses described hearing loud noises as he fell. Despite emergency services rushing him to the hospital, Nungarary was pronounced dead shortly after.
The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation into the incident but determined there was no foul play involved. Video evidence shows another student verbally bullying and physically assaulting Nungarary before he ran out of the classroom and jumped from the building. The identity of the attacker remains unknown, though police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing footage.
School officials have stated that mental health professionals will be available to support students who may need counseling following this tragic event.
