(AP) - Authorities are investigating allegations that four middle school boys at a suburban St. Louis school forced a girl into a bathroom and tried to sexually assault her.

KSDK-TV reports the incident happened Monday afternoon at Hazelwood West Middle School. Parents were notified in an email on Thursday.

A spokeswoman for the district says the girl informed the assistant principal that four boys, all in seventh grade, tried to have sex with her in a bathroom at the cafeteria.

Hazelwood police say the matter will be handled in family court.
