DALLAS — The Dallas Police Department said they were responding to an “incident” at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center Saturday and had to set up a family reunification center.
The department confirmed that there was no active shooter at the convention center, which was hosting the National Cheerleaders Association All-Star Championship.
Police said the family reunification center would be located at 400 N. Lamar.
In a later update, the Dallas Police Department said two people got into a fight, causing poles to fall down and make a loud noise. Police were called for reports of an active shooter, but no shooting took place, the department said.
However, there were multiple non-life-threatening injuries when crowds of people rushed out of the building, the department said.
