Chaos broke out at a massive “6-7” event that attracted hundreds of kids and teens, ending in fights and arrests, according to authorities.
A Sky Zone in Shrewsbury, Missouri, held what was meant to be a family-friendly event on Sunday to celebrate the “6-7” internet meme.
But chaos erupted outside the Sky Zone as 300 to 350 unaccompanied kids and teens were waiting in line after the indoor trampoline park reached capacity, according to authorities.
“With temperatures around 90 degrees, it did not take long for tempers to flare,” the Shrewsbury Police Department said in a press release.
Within minutes, at least eight fights broke out, according to authorities. Shrewsbury Police noted that Sky Zone ”had not arranged for additional security despite the anticipated large crowd.”

Sam Bankman-Fried, the imprisoned former cryptocurrency executive and billionaire, has asked the Trump administration for a pardon.
In 2024, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison and $11 billion in forfeiture on a raft of fraud and conspiracy charges tied to the collapse of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange two years earlier.
The crypto fraudster asked this year for a “Pardon after Completion of Sentence,” according to a Justice Department website, though it doesn’t specify on which date he filed for the reprieve. Bloomberg previously reported the pardon effort.
Prosecutors accused Bankman-Fried, known by his nickname SBF, of misappropriating billions of dollars of customer funds for personal use, political donations and repayment on billions of dollars in loans tied to a sister trading fund. The Justice Department called the scheme “one of the largest financial frauds in history.”
In an interview with Fox Business earlier Monday, Bankman-Fried maintained that the original pr..

The imprisoned stalker who could hold the key to freeing British couple jailed in IranIsraeli air defences are working to intercept missiles said to have been launched from Iran, following a string of threats earlier in the day.
Israel’s IDF said in a post on social media they had identified missiles “launched from Iran toward Israel”, while “defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat”.
“Sirens were sounded in several areas across the country following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward Israel,” they added.
The strikes mark the first attacks on Israel from Iran since the April ceasefire took effect. An unnamed Israeli official told Axios that Israel plans to respond.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the Israeli army must stop its attacks on Lebanon and if it expands its attacks or responds to Iran's actions, it will face “more crushing and regretful blows”.
“We had previously warned that if the crimes in the Dahieh area of Beirut expand, we ..

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has voiced significant concern over delays in constructing a new facility crucial for combating the New World screwworm fly, whose flesh-eating larvae pose a renewed threat to the nation's $113 billion cattle industry.
The governor warned on Friday that the factory, designed to breed sterile flies, is not expected to commence operations for over a year, a timeline he deems unacceptable given the recent re-emergence of the pest.
Abbott pledged Texas's full support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expedite the $750 million breeding facility's construction near Edinburg, Texas, approximately 20 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
He indicated the state is prepared to commit its own funds to ensure construction proceeds “24 hours a day, seven days a week.” During a news conference in Austin, Abbott stressed the urgency, stating, “Without greater sterile fly production… We cannot make it through a second summer.”
The USDA confirmed ..
