Fights involving hundreds of teens break out at AMC at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis





There has been another fight at a movie theater and mall, this time in Indianapolis. Castleton Square Mall closed early Saturday after a fight broke out inside, reportedly involving hundreds of teens. Fights had broken out inside earlier. "It was like two groups at a time. People just kept jumping in like they were just like kicking each other," said Darelene Hernandez, who said she'd been inside shopping when the fights started "They started running up and down and we didn't know what was happening. We saw people fighting and all the police officers were running towards them," added Davin Juerling who was with Hernandez.. Some witnesses said they heard someone had a gun, but no one has been able to tell police they actually saw one. Later, there were reports of shots fired in front of the AMC movie theater, but again police have not found any evidence of gunfire. There were no reports of injuries and, as of Saturday night, no arrests were made. Police dispersed the large crowds that began gathering outside the mall after the fight and alleged shooting. "This generation is, it's like they don't care anymore," said William Allen who was about to drop his kids off to see a movie, but when he saw police cars and heard what happened, he changed his mind. "I thought this would be the safest place for them to go." Police local news that the mall had closed down early as a precaution after the brawl, and video shows of officers telling the crowds over a bullhorn that the mall and theater were closed. A representative with Simon - the owner of the mall - later said that while police dispersed the crowds, the mall itself had not shut down and would not until 9:00 as scheduled. Police were monitoring social media and knew the "mall brawl" was a possibility at Castleton Square Saturday night, so they had extra off-duty officers already at the mall.
