Just before 6:20 p.m. Saturday, off-duty police working security at the Killeen Mall responded to a fight, reportedly involving 30-45 juveniles and adults in the food court. According to a press release from Killeen police, as on-duty police arrived, the crowd began to disperse, but several smaller groups began fighting in other parts of the mall and outside the building.
According to the release, initial reports to police said shots were fired inside the mall, but police were unable to verify those reports. No injuries or property damage was reported in connection with the fights.
According to the Texas penal code, though, a fight including seven or more participants is considered a riot.
