Large Teenager Fight Shuts Down Independence Center
 

A KCPD detective friend of mine just texted that there is a full metro wide assist being issued for all local PDs right now. Apparently there is full-blown looting going on at Independence Center right now. I don't see anything on the news yet...

EDIT: Original reports of looting were incorrect. Large scale fighting between teenagers.

Just hit KCStar:

Independence Center locked down its stores before closing Friday night after fights and possible looting broke out.

Large crowds of youths were reportedly involved. Kansas City police sent multiple officers to the scene to help Independence police. Officers reportedly were stopping traffic in the area while others entered the shopping mall to handle youths there.

Police reportedly were setting up a location where parents could go to pick up children who may have been left at the shopping center.

At one point, police reported that some large groups of youths had moved to parking lots at stores on the north side of 39th Street, across from Independence Center.

Social media reports claimed that a large number of protesters were at the mall before it shut down about 8:30 p.m.

Additional details were not immediately available.

There are several Original Pizza's around still, but yeah, that was the quintessential mall food court restaurant. I kind of miss Hickory Farms. Didn't they used to have samples this time of year?

No season is the wrong season for summer sausage.
