They decapitated a lot of the fish," Martinez said.Police say the crime happened some time between 5 p.m. Sunday and 4 a.m. this morning. Police will be paying very close attention to who does not show up at school today, because someone had a very busy night.Students at the school say they don't know who would have done such a thing.
