The headline on this thread is totally wrong and is irresponsible. This was just some kids fighting outside the mall. No damage, nobody arrested, nobody hurt. Here's the story from KSHB TV:
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - Multiple police units responded to Independence Center on Friday night.
Authorities from Independence, Blue Springs and Kansas City, Mo., responded to a large disturbance at the mall.
Tom Gentry with the Independence Police Department said a large group of juveniles started fighting among themselves outside the mall. Police were called in and the teens dispersed.
No one was arrested and no one was injured, according to Gentry. He said there may be some damage to the front door of the mall, but there were no other reports or property damage.
Police shut down the roads around the mall, but they have since reopened.
Gentry also said that officers asked businesses on the north side of 39th Street to close their doors after the teens left the mall.
Officials believe the teen gathering was organized on social media and are investigating.
Authorities said they are reviewing security camera footage. They also said there will be increased security at the mall over the weekend.
