    Fights break out at malls across US, including in NC


    Fights break out at malls across US, including in NC

    Disturbances that included gunfire, massive brawls and food-court fights played out at more than a dozen malls across the country in what proved to be a chaotic day after Christmas.

    The disturbances, some of which were captured on social media, prevented some shoppers from clearing off clearance racks and returning Christmas gifts as they intended.

    The mall incidents, which ranged from minor melees to mass evacuations, occurred nationwide from Colorado to North Carolina, Texas to New Jersey. Here's what happened at several of those malls.

    Fayetteville, North Carolina

    In Fayetteville, North Carolina, people panicked after teenagers fought in the food court, Fayetteville police spokesman Shawn Strepay told CNN affiliate WRAL. No shots were fired, despite reports of gunfire, he said.
    "Once people start running in that area or chairs are getting knocked over, tables, that sort of thing, that echoes and it could resemble the sound of a gunshot to a lot of people," he said.

    Manchester, Connecticut

    Several fights broke out at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester, FOX61 reports. Several hundred teens were involved in the various fights, which led to the mall being evacuated and shut down for the evening. It started near the food court with a fight of eight to 10 people, which left one police officer with minor injuries.

    Later in the evening, a verbal altercation involving several teens broke out at Westfarms Mall, which sits on the border of West Hartford, Farmington and New Britain. It was in the lower level center court, but was broken up by security before it escalated into a physical fight, police told FOX 61.

    Aurora, Colorado

    It all started with a social media post that promised a fight at the Town Center at Aurora.

    Aurora Police Department spokesman Sgt. Chris Amsler said about 100 people had gathered in the food court before the brawls broke out -- prompting the Colorado mall to close early on Monday afternoon.

    "(It) kind of morphed into this large disturbance," Amsler said.

    When off-duty police officers working as security guards tried to break up a fight, people circled the officers, who called for backup, Amsler said.

    As police officers on duty arrived, fights broke out throughout the mall, at a movie theater, and at a nearby park-and-ride lot, he said.

    He estimated 500 people were involved. Authorities arrested five people, all juveniles, and recovered no weapons, he said. One person assaulted at the park-and-ride lot suffered "significant" injuries and was taken to a hospital, Amsler said.

    Memphis, Tennessee

    In Memphis, Tennessee, seven people were arrested after incidents at two malls, CNN affiliate WMCA reported.
    Police said a group started a disturbance in the Wolfchase Galleria food court and started running, which prompted some customers to call 911, WMCA said.

    Then a crowd gathered outside Oak Court Mall, about 10 miles west, and started a disturbance, WMCA said. Both malls were cleared and closed early for the night.

    Shots were reported in both incidents, but police said they found no evidence of gunfire, WMCA said.
    No injuries were reported, CNN affiliate WATN said.

    Elizabeth, New Jersey

    The first calls from The Mills at Jersey Gardens came in just after nightfall Monday. Witnesses said they thought they had heard shots fired. That, along with a fight, led to what Elizabeth police Officer Greg Jones described as a "chaotic panic and everybody running all at once."

    Ultimately, though, patrons had mistaken the sound of a chair slammed during a fight for gunfire, city officials told CNN affiliate News 12 New Jersey. Two people, an 8-year-old and 12-year-old, were injured, the station reported.

    Fort Worth, Texas

    The security guards had no other choice but to place the Hulen Mall on lockdown. At one point, police told CNN affiliate KTVT, at least 100 people were involved in a series of fights.

    Fort Worth Police spokeswoman Tamara Velle said officers initially responded to reported gunfire inside the mall. After breaking up the fights, officers stopped by each store to let people leave while the lockdown remained in effect, KTVT reported.

    There were no reported injuries or property damage -- thanks in large part to local police, Kelle said.
    "You keep hearing the horror stories of the mall shootings across the nations right now," Velle told KTVT. "Anytime we're hearing about a mall shooting and it's the day after Christmas, (where) you have tons of people holiday shopping ... we're going to get in there as fast as we can."

    'Big brawl’ closed Aurora mall; similar melees reported at malls across the country


    Published on Dec 26, 2016
    AURORA, IL — The Fox Valley Mall was closed temporarily Monday due to a “large disturbance,” mall security confirms, as videos posted to social media show skirmishes breaking out not just in that mall, but also in malls across the country.

    Videos posted to Twitter show mall security intervening in skirmishes between people on multiple levels at Fox Valley Mall in Aurora:

    The mall was closed temporarily, but has since reopened, and will remain open until 9 p.m., mall security confirmed.

    Video shows ‘hundreds’ of teens fighting in Connecticut mall

    MANCHESTER, Conn. — Fox 61 reports a huge fight broke out at the Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester on Monday evening.

    Manchester Police Captain Christopher Davis says several hundred teens were involved, and that several fights broke out. The mall was shut down shortly before 6 p.m. and cleared out in response. It was supposed to remain open until 9 p.m.

    Warning: The video, shot by FOX 61 viewer John Drew, may not be appropriate for all audiences.

    According to Davis, about eight to 10 teens started fighting around 5:30 p.m., and officers already at the mall broke out the fight. However, it was then learned that several hundred teens at various locations throughout the mall had started fighting at the same time.

    "Because it was such a chaotic situation with hundreds of people inside the mall, a request for mutual aid assistance was put out to surrounding jurisdictions," Davis said; State Police, East Hartford Police, Vernon Police, South Windsor Police and Glastonbury Police all responded to assist.

    Police say eight people were arrested during the fights, including teens and adults. One Manchester officer was assaulted while trying to break up the first fight, but his injuries weren't significant and didn't require medical attention. Davis said no weapons were used in the fights, and they don't appear to be gang related. Police are investigating with mall management to try and identify more of those involved.

    About two hours later around 8 p.m., Farmington Police told FOX 61 a fight broke out in the lower-level center court at Westfarms Mall in West Hartford, CT. About 20 to 30 teens were involved in that incident, but when security got involved the kids started backing off the fight, though they did keep yelling at each other. Police responded, but did not have further information. It's not clear if the two were related.
