The gathering of rowdy teens on the Country Club Plaza Saturday evening was planned and not a random event, Kansas City police said this morning.
Students from different high schools throughout the area had been using Twitter and Facebook to plan an unruly gathering last week, said Officer Darin Snapp, a police spokesman.
Unfortunately there were people who knew about it but didnt call us until after it was over, Snapp said.
( More from Bob Cronkleton: Police Chief Jim Corwin is expected to be briefed about the gathering that attracted large crowds totaling an estimated 500 to 1,000 people to various spots in the shopping district.
Police used pepper spray to break up disturbances.
More information about what occurred Saturday evening is expected to be released later today.

what is this all about?
Wait until “flash mobs” evolove into “flash home invasions.”
That is going to happen. Depend on it.
The end of civilization until we start fining the parents several thousand dollars each.
Why post this if you’re only going to link to a completely uninformative blog post?
I'd prefer to see the kids have to work for free to pay for any damages they caused, including the medical bills of anyone hurt. Even if the parents were fined, I doubt they'd do anything to stop these kids from doing this stuff.
Are you helpless? I posted various links
It’s called BLOG PIMPING and it’s extremely irritating. Most of your links lead to your other blog posts...I had to click through three to get to a news story.
Female Amish Fight Club!
Automatic weapons fire is more effective, and discourages repeat performances.
Boo hoo. So what. Oh I see so you can get the ‘real’ news. Because we all know the MSM is full of the real news.
Bloggers & Personal; there’s a reason we have a specific board for them.
this “flash mob” thing should not be ignored...if you dig into the boilerplate on liberal Alinsky strategies (yeah...makes me queasy too) you’ll see this is something they intend to make use of once they assemble the Obama Brown Shirt Thug Army. Like whacko Muslims on airplanes I think we are seeing a dry run for something.
I used to love visiting the Country Club Plaza in KC. Looks like I have to scratch another American “third world” destination off my list.
No, this was just of punk kids. Their parents are too busy partying themselves, to know what their kids are doing on a Saturday night.
Thugs. Period. They aren't smart enough for doing a 'dry run' for anything.
“Female Amish Fight Club!”
Remind me again. What’s the first rule of Female Amish Fight Club!?
J. C. Nichols must be rolling in his grave.
Country Club Plaza was once the jewel of Kansas City.
That number might be interesting.
I would bet it is very very low.
