OCOEE -- Gunfire erupted late Saturday night at the West Oaks Mall as hundreds of teenagers rushed the mall's movie theater.
Ocoee police were called to the mall to help control a large, hostile crowd. Orange County deputies said 800-900 middle school and high school students tried to rush into the theater without paying. Ocoee police said 200-300 made it inside. Police said the juveniles and young adults were causing a disturbance in the food court and movie theater area of the mall.
Police said a large group rushed into the theater and continued causing a disturbance there. Orange County deputies and police from Winter Garden and Windermere were called in to help disperse the crowd.
"During this time, there was a shot fired and somebody was robbed," said Lt. Paul Hopkins, of the Orange County Sheriff's Office. "But the Ocoee Police Department jumped on that quickly and were able to catch the gunman with the gun and make an arrest out of that."
Ocoee police said one juvenile was arrested for battery and resisting an officer without violence, and a second was arrested on misdemeanor drug charges.
Added Hopkins: "Our main concern is this: These are middle to high school kids who have guns, who are shooting guns, who are robbing people, driving stolen cars and they have drugs in their car. ... You need to know where your kids are at all time."

Apple and the iPod pretty much shut them all down.
I don’t know any other crowd that runs in packs that big.
Back in the ‘80s, there was a black motorcycle gang in Kokomo, IN whose leader was a 350 pound guy on a Kawasaki 900 who wore a Viking helmet complete with horns and a fur vest.
Wish I had a picture of him. Hilarious!
The best most malls I’ve seen offered was a Big Five. I’d rather take refuge in a Cabelas ;’)
So, what was the name of the movie they stormed in to see!

Inquiring minds want to know since no one mentioned the name.
“Teens”
David Byrne was a genius!
Are mullets in style again? (dark-haired guy in background)
Was this Fergussin Crowd?
***************************
YES , West Oaks Mall is just west of Orlando on Hwy 50 (Colonial Dr.) , about 2 miles to the East of this mall is the “Pine Hills” area which we refer to as “Crime Hills” ... This mall is barely hanging on after losing some anchor tenants... The area it is in is good but was clobbered in the 2008/9 crash ,,,and the vermin from Crime Hills are a little to close.
How to read and write cursive would be better.
I searched the image info - it’s a “vintage 1980’s mall” photo.
No, the police are afraid Obola would say they acted stupidly.
Thanks!
The West Oaks Mall’s days are now numbered.
Tax dollars pay for busses that move young black thugs into the malls en masse.
This is reminiscent of the close of Dayton, Ohio’s Salem Mall due to the infusion of black thugs with mamas, but no papas.
Its the African-American Youth Awakening Movement.
Same thing happened to Rolling Acres mall in Akron.The city extended the bus line to service the mall,everything went downhill after that.
