Distressing footage captured at least 10 adults and children fighting during a Tennessee kindergarten graduation ceremony earlier this month, according to a report.
The chaos unfolded at Buckley Carpenter Elementary in Somerville, Tenn., on May 15, 2024, when tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over into violence, police told Fox 13 Memphis.
The adults, identified as Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith, were seen brawling down the gymnasium bleachers as witnesses tried to escape the madness.
Beyond the bleacher brawl, at least two other people on the basketball court exchanged several punches.
According to the outlet, Tyeisha Humphreys told police that she was attacked first while Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl.
Security video obtained by law enforcement allegedly showed Tyeisha Humphreys coming into the gym and taking a seat directly behind Smith.

Investigators say Smith and the child then got into an argument, which allegedly led to the woman taking an aggressive stance, prompting Tyeisha Humphreys to run down the bleachers from several rows back and smack Smith from behind to start the fight.
Ronda Humphreys, the mother arrested in the fight, told Fox 13 that she was wrongfully arrested and saw her son was elbowed in the head by an adult during the melee.
“I got hysterical. The police called the ambulance,” she told the outlet. “They said he had a concussion and released him.”
One man, Dantavious Gilchrease, and a mother and daughter, Ronda and Tyeisha Humphreys, were arrested following the graduation melee. Gilchrease's relationship with the Humphreys was not disclosed.

There ain’t much left of Tennessee “East of Knoxville”.
Steve Inman has a YouTube channel filled with hilarious fights
Kindergarten graduation. LOL.
On the other hand, that will likely be the highest acadamic honors they will ever earn.
Unfortunately so.
If not killed, they’ll get a diploma that’s worthless then blame everyone but the educational system for their lack of success.
I think you meant West of Knoxville. East of Knoxville is paradise. For me anyway. Taxes are low, people are polite and friendly, there are churches every couple of miles and fishing is the number one recreational activity.
Just responding to your 95. You’re right though...the country and people up there are beautiful...been through many times.
