A chaotic scene unfolded at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas during a national cheerleading competition when a fight among parents triggered fears of an active shooter. Thousands of cheerleaders were evacuated as panic ensued, characterized by a mass stampede. Fortunately, police confirmed there was no active shooter situation; rather, the incident stemmed from a dispute that led to minor injuries and a significant police presence. Various cheer teams, including those from Utah and Alabama, were reported safe after the chaos, which forced the NCA to cancel further events for the day.
