VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA (AP) -- Some would say they behaved just like children.

Sheriffs in Southern California arrested two women following a brawl between parents that interrupted a kindergarten graduation ceremony Wednesday morning.

The San Bernardino County sheriff's department says witnesses told deputies several mothers were involved in an argument and it got physical in a field near the ceremony at Puesta del Sol Elementary in the desert town of Victorville. Several men then jumped into the fray, and the incident turned into a brawl.

School officials then placed the school on lockdown.

Sheriffs arrested two women they believe were the main instigators.
