BLAINE, Minn. — The carnival at the Northtown Mall in Blaine was shut down Saturday night by police after officers found people fighting each other on and around the Ferris wheel.
According to an official with the Blaine Police Department, officers arrived at the mall at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday on a call of a reported fight at a carnival being held in the mall's parking lot. When the first officer arrived, they saw people fighting while riding the Ferris wheel and a large group of kids ran away.
Police say about 100 juveniles ran into the mall through the Burlington Coat Factory entrance, which forced the mall into lockdown and to close for the rest of the night.
One officer reported hearing gunshots and more police were called in, according to Blaine PD, including agencies from Anoka County and Minnesota State Patrol. No guns were found and police have not confirmed any shots were actually fired.
When the carnival shut down for the night, attendees were asked by police to leave but officials say a large group of kids refused to. Police then declared the group an unlawful assembly and ordered the group to leave the mall's parking lot.
By 10 p.m., the group had left, according to police.
Officials say no one was arrested and one juvenile was treated for minor injuries.

I think these "kids" know they have carte blanche, free to ruin everyone else's night, close down a mall, whatever.

Don’t tell me. I know already.
Just have to read Pravda media correctly.
That'll teach 'em.
I just looked up where Blaine MN is. It is the next town east of coon rapids.
Well, they’ve probably been raised to think they’re special, never being told “no,” and getting whatever they want by pitching a temper tantrum.
I’m glad kids were taught manners and respect when I was growing up and that we could go to the mall, carnivals, concerts, etc. without even thinking things like that might happen.
They ruin everything ...
Shopping malls and amusement parks all over the country have shut down because of what's changed since then.
Not fear only, although that meter gets pinned too. The mind goes out whack, senses spinning. There is a strong pull towards the edge that feels physical. I have to crouch to lower my COG, I cling to any handhold like a vice.
I've thought about this my whole life. Why? Is there meaning? Today, now, looking at this post.. I got it.
Part of me wants to commit suicide. I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of myself.
And you were unfortunate enough to be here during my epiphany, lol.
You weren’t kidding, it is just east of Coon Rapids, it’s also just north Of Mogadishu on the Mississippi.
Carte Blanche? That’s raciss or something.
Buckwheats just wanna have fun.

According to the song Saturday is alright for fighting, What’s the problem? They were just trying to get a little action in
A ferris wheel is not a hill to die on.
