(WCNC) -- WALTERBORO, S.C. — A South Carolina fifth-grader who was injured during a classroom fight this week has passed away.
The Colleton County Sheriff's Office and the school district confirmed Raniya Wright, 10, died Wednesday morning at 9:39 a.m. at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
"Our community has suffered a tremendous loss," the Colleton County School District said in a statement. "Raniya was a wonderful student. She loved to write, spend time with her friends, play basketball and loved being a big sister."
The fight broke out Monday in a classroom at Forest Hills Elementary School. The Colleton County School District says teachers ended the fight as quickly as possible, and called for EMS. An incident report states both of the students involved were fifth-graders, and the offense was listed as a simple assault.
According to the reports, officers responded to the scene initially for a call that a student had collapsed. The report goes on to say Wright was in the nurse's station and was unconscious but breathing when they arrived.
The fifth-grader was initially transported to a local hospital for her injuries, but was airlifted to the Medical University of South Carolina hours later.
One student has since been suspended as an investigation into the incident continues, according to the district.
Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey said there's been no determination yet. on the cause of Wright's death yet until an autopsy takes places. That's scheduled for Friday at MUSC in Charleston.
Colleton deputies said they aren't able to give any more information on their investigation at this time, and will wait for the results of the autopsy.
South Carolina State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said in statement, "my heart aches for the student's parents, peers, and the entire Walterboro community as they grieve the loss of a child who has left us far before their time."
She said she is in communication with the district and has offered any state assistance that she can provide.
Here is the full statement from the school district on Raniya's death:
"Our community has suffered a tremendous loss. We are deeply saddened that Raniya Wright, a fifth-grade Forest Hills Elementary School student, has passed away. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with this family in the difficult days ahead. The District has been communicating with the family to provide support and assistance, and we will continue to do so going forward."
"Raniya was a wonderful student. She loved to write, spend time with her friends, play basketball and loved being a big sister. She was actively involved in her church as a junior usher. She will be missed greatly by her family, friends, and the entire school community."
"Our entire school district is saddened by this event. It is very difficult to experience the death of a young person. We are providing guidance and counseling services to students, staff, and family members as needed. The well-being of our students and staff will remain a top priority as we deal with the emotions surrounding this tragedy. Children may be coming home with questions and worries about this loss. Please feel free to contact the school counselors if you have an issue you would like to discuss."
"The District is cooperating fully with law enforcement as this matter is investigated. No further information is available now regarding the status of the investigation, but additional information will be provided as it becomes available."
"Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers as we all work through the pain and emotions of this devastating loss."
The school district has suspended its Facebook page, it says, so it can focus on the tragedy.

Report via TMZ -- DMX mistakenly rolling away with someone else's ride could cost him dearly if the feds find out he hopped in the driver's seat ... something X insists he did NOT do.
Sources close to DMX tell TMZ ... his lawyers think he's gonna get pulled in before a judge soon to explain what the hell happened last weekend in L.A. ... when his crew drove off with someone else's Corvette in a big ol' mixup. We're told the concern is he might have violated the probation in his tax evasion case.
As we reported ... X and his posse left a restaurant early Saturday morning, and the valet gave them someone else's car by mistake. They rode away, and the owner of the car reported it stolen. Cops got the car back pronto without arresting anyone.
Despite it being a clear gaffe on the valet's part, we're told X's camp thinks prosecutors are gonna squeeze him because there's confusion as to whether or not he was driving. DMX doesn't have a license right now, so driving would be a clear probation violation.
Our law enforcement sources tell us feds are just "looking into it" -- and it seems they're only basing their suspicions off our post. There are no images of DMX behind the wheel, as far as we've seen.
For the record, our DMX sources tell us he's confident surveillance footage will show he was a passenger and not the driver.

Report via The Independent -- Facebook has announced a ban white nationalism and white separatism from its platforms, in a major policy shift for the internet giant.
Any praise, support and representation of the far-right principles on Facebook and Instagram will be banned from next week.
“It’s clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organised hate groups and have no place on our services," Facebook said in a blog post announcing the policy change.
A ban on white supremacists was already in force, though nationalism and separatism had been allowed as they can be linked to patriotism and other concepts that can be important to people's identity.
Facebook said the policy change came after conversations with academics and other experts in race relations, who confirmed that white nationalism and white separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups.
Our own review of hate figures and organizations – as defined by our Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy – further revealed the overlap between white nationalism and separatism and white supremacy," Facebook wrote.
"Going forward, while people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage, we will not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism and separatism."

(Fox News) Devastated Wendy Williams is “not in a good way” after being rushed to the hospital — hours after her husband’s alleged mistress gave birth.
The talk show host was found drunk on Monday, soon after Page Six reported that Sharina Hudson, the alleged longtime love of her husband Kevin Hunter, had given birth.
She was taken to the hospital where she was given IV fluids — however, she still showed to the set of her show and filmed on Tuesday.
The star had left the sober home in Queens where she has been staying, sparking a hunt for her before she was found.
But she’s now back at the facility, we’re told.
It’s widely believed that Hunter is the father of Hudson’s baby.
And a source said: “Wendy is not in a good way, everyone is so concerned for her. The sad thing is that she’s been working so hard to stay sober and she’s been so honest in her struggles with all her fans, and this just tipped her over the edge.
“But the fact she still came to the set just shows how strong she’s trying to be.”
Williams is due back on air for the foreseeable future, however, production staff are taking things “one day at a time.”
We’re told it was Hunter who told her to go to a sober home with complete strangers.
Last week, she revealed she was living with “a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family” in a sober house.
Hunter’s alleged mistress is believed to have given birth in Philadelphia.
The couple was sharing a home in New Jersey, before Hudson moved into an apartment in New York.
The Daily Mail first reported Williams was rushed to the hospital.
A rep for Williams could not be reached for comment.

(CTV News) -- Florida police have charged a couple and removed eight children from their custody after they “forgot” their toddler daughter at the park and reported her missing more than 14 hours later.
Police responded to reports of a young girl walking alone in a park near West Palm Beach on Saturday morning and shared a photo of the girl on social media.
“Does anyone know who the parents are of this beautiful little girl?” they wrote on Facebook and Twitter. “The child, possibly 2 years of age, was wearing a pink short-sleeve shirt, white & gold tutu and clear plastic shoes.”
The parents, Jolanda and Makenson Alexandre, told police they “did not realize” they left her at the park the night before around 7 p.m. when they reported her missing the next morning around 11:40 a.m.
The state child welfare agency were in possession of the child and later removed seven other children from the couple’s home.
“Both parents were arrested and each charged with one count of Neglect of Child,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Facebook.

CHICAGO (AP) — Attorneys for “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett said Tuesday that charges alleging he lied to police about a racist and homophobic attack have been dropped.
Smollett attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes said in a statement that Smollett’s record “has been wiped clean.” Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts related to making a false report that he was attacked by two men.
Among the questions that weren’t immediately answered was whether prosecutors still believe Smollett concocted the attack and whether there’s new evidence that altered their view of events. Typically, a minimum condition of dropping cases is some acceptance of responsibility. In a statement, the Cook County prosecutors’ office offered no detailed explanation.
“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the statement from spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said.
Smollett had made a $10,000 bond payment to get out of jail after his arrest on the charges.
Police and prosecutors have said Smollett falsely reported to authorities that he was attacked around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29 in downtown Chicago because he was unhappy with his pay on “Empire” and to promote his career.
Smollett, who is black and gay, plays the gay character Jamal Lyon on the hit Fox TV show that follows a black family as they navigate the ups and downs of the recording industry.
Smollett reported that he had been attacked on his way home from a sandwich shop. Smollett said two masked men shouted racial and anti-gay slurs, poured bleach on him, beat him and looped a rope around his neck. He claimed they shouted, “This is MAGA country” — a reference to President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. He asserted that he could see one of the men was white because he could see the skin around his eyes.
Police said Smollett hired two men, both of whom are black, to attack him. Police said Smollett paid the men $3,500.
The men are brothers Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, and one of them had worked on “Empire.” An attorney for them has said the brothers agreed to help Smollett because of their friendship with him and the sense that he was helping their careers.
Police have also said that before the attack, Smollett sent a letter that threatened him to the Chicago studio where “Empire” is shot. The FBI, which is investigating that letter, has declined to comment on the investigation.

(Chicago Tribune) -- Michael Avenatti, the high-profile attorney and critic of President Donald Trump, was arrested Monday and charged by federal prosecutors with trying to extort Nike by threatening to level damaging allegations against the athletic apparel company unless it paid him and his client millions.
Simultaneously, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles filed separate charges accusing Avenatti of wire fraud and bank fraud, saying he for allegedly taking a client's settlement money and using it to pay expenses for Avenatti's coffee business. Avenatti allegedly concealed from the client what he had done with the money.
Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said Avenatti dressed up his alleged extortionate demands as legal negotiations, but that doing so violated the law.
"A suit and tie doesn't mask the fact that, at its core, this was an old-fashioned shakedown," said Berman. "When lawyers use their law licenses as weapons, as a guise to extort payments for themselves, they are no longer acting as attorneys, they are acting as criminals."
FBI officials said Avenatti was arrested in Manhattan on Monday as he arrived at an expected meeting with lawyers for Nike.
The charges mark the latest and most remarkable chapter in the strange public saga of the California lawyer who had represented Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress paid to keep quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign about her alleged sexual tryst with Trump several years ago. Late last year, Avenatti mulled running for president before opting against it.
That case catapulted Avenatti to cable television news fame, but prosecutors now say he threatened to use that platform to commit a crime. Avenatti did not immediately respond to a phone call and text message seeking comment.
Authorities charge Avenatti threatened to hold a news conference on the eve of the NCAA college basketball tournament to reveal damaging allegations against Nike unless it paid his client $1.5 million and agreed to hire Avenatti and another lawyer for $15 million to $25 million to conduct an "internal investigation" into the purported allegations. Authorities did not disclose the identities of Avenatti's client or the other lawyer cited in the charging documents. A representative for Nike did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The charging document said that Avenatti proposed another alternative to hiring him to conduct an investigation - "a total payment of $22.5 million from Nike to resolve any claims (the client) might have and additionally to buy Avenatti's silence."
Shortly before the charges were unsealed Monday, Avenatti tweeted that he planned to hold a news conference Tuesday "to disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike that we have uncovered. This criminal conduct reaches the highest levels of Nike and involves some of the biggest names in college basketball."
According to a criminal complaint filed by an FBI agent, Avenatti and the other lawyer - identified only as "co-conspirator 1" - held a contentious phone call last week with lawyers for Nike.
In that call, Avenatti allegedly told Nike that if their demands were not met, "I'll go take ten billion dollars off your client's market cap. . . . I'm not (expletive) around," according to the complaint.
Avenatti claimed his client "had evidence that one or more Nike employees had authorized and funded payments to the families of top high school basketball players and/or their families and attempted to conceal those payments," the complaint said. Nike's lawyers responded, it says, by calling federal prosecutors to report a potential crime in progress.
Federal agents arranged to secretly record subsequent conversations during which, they say, Avenatti demanded money not just for his client, but for himself.
The charges in the New York case are extortion, extortion conspiracy, transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort, and conspiracy to transmit interstate communications with the intent to extort.
At one point in the secretly recorded negotiations, a lawyer for Nike noted that he had never been paid the kind of money by Nike that Avenatti was demanding, court documents say. Avenatti allegedly responded by asking whether the lawyer had ever "held the balls of the client in your hand where you could take five to six billion dollars market cap off of them?"
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, dropped Avenatti as her lawyer earlier this year. In a statement issued after his arrest, she said she was "saddened but not shocked" by reports he had been charged. Avenatti, she said, "dealt with me extremely dishonestly."
In the California case, Avenatti is accused of misusing client funds, and lying to a bank about his income to obtain loans totaling $4.1 million for his law firm and coffee business.
According to court papers filed in that case, Avenatti negotiated in January a $1.6 million settlement on behalf of an unidentified client but gave that client a bogus settlement agreement with a false payment date.
Avenatti allegedly used his client's money to pay expenses for his coffee business, as well as his own expenses, concealing what he'd done from the client, officials charge.
As part of a long-running investigation into Avenatti's alleged financial misdeeds, officials said he did not pay taxes for several years, and owed the Internal Revenue Service $850,438 in unpaid taxes, plus interest and penalties.
"There have been collection efforts going on for many, many years," said Nick Hanna, the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles. "This investigation was started in the ordinary course, it came up through the IRS with the collection of back taxes."
Hanna said the Avenatti case "has nothing to do with anything political or with anything else. The facts in this case speak for themselves."
Avenatti also was at the center of renewed sexual abuse allegations against R&B superstar R. Kelly, who was indicted last month after the attorney provided video purportedly depicting Kelly having sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl to Cook County prosecutors.
