At least eight people face charges after a brawl on Tuesday morning outside a Baton Rouge courtroom.

The action started around 10:15 a.m. at the 19th Judicial District Courthouse. People attending a hearing for accused shooter Dominik Franklin got into a fight with supporters of the family of one of Franklin's reported victims.

Sheriff's deputies and Baton Rouge police waded in and broke up the fight.

Seven women and a man are charged with battery, inciting a riot, and child endangerment, since a child was bumped on the head.
