Ronald Castaphey's daughter is a third-grader at the school. He had nothing but good things to say about Pipkin.
"It's not his character as far as I know," Castaphey said. "He's always been nice to all of the students. I never had any complaints from my kids."
"He was just here yesterday," Castaphey said Friday.
Sources would not say the circumstances leading up to the incident, the student's age, or if the student was injured.
"Until you are actually proven guiltily, he's innocent, this is what really happened," Andrew Carnes of Pittsburgh said. "Hopefully, he comes out around the other side. ... I'm hoping for the best."
