Four residents at a Texas center for disabled and medically fragile individuals were arrested for allegedly starting a “purge” that injured multiple employees Monday, according to a police report.

The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Monday, a Texas Health and Human Services (THHS) spokesperson told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Two of the residents allegedly damaged vehicles in the parking lot, according to KCBD 11. All four allegedly broke furniture, destroyed windows and other property inside a building, and one pulled a fire alarm.

It was unclear how many people were injured.

The four residents were charged for aggravated assault, felony criminal mischief and organized crime, and Woods was charged with a false alarm or report, according to KCBD 11.

“We are conducting a full review of the incident and assessing next steps,” the spokesperson told TheDCNF.
