TACOMA, Wash. -- Two students were arrested after an alleged assault of an Emerald Ridge High School student was videotaped and posted on MySpace.com.

The video showed two high school students attacking a classmate while another student video taped the fight with a night vision lens.

Investigators say the assault was in retaliation for an earlier fight that was also video taped and posted on MySpace.com.

After the second fight a 17-year-old, now under arrest, brags to the camera then shows a shotgun. “Hey, any of you all want to play with me? We'll play,” he says while racking the shotgun.

Investigators said that the 17-year-old later took the gun to school, where he was arrested and the video was discovered in his car.

Both teens involved are scheduled for arraignment on assault charges Tuesday afternoon."
