A massive “6-7” event that attracted hundreds of kids and teens ended in fights and arrests, according to officials.
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 in the parking lot as 300 to 350 unaccompanied kids and teens were waiting outside 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, police said.
As officers arrived at the parking lot, the kids and teens scattered and entered nearby businesses, including Aldi, Walmart and My Place Bar & Restaurant.
Those who entered the nearby businesses caused damage and threatened customers and employees, according to authorities.
Several young people were reportedly detained. All those detained were later released to their parents.
The term “6-7” comes from rapper Skrilla’s song “Doot Doot (6 7),” referencing a 6’7” basketball player. It’s a nonsensical expression often blurted out, accompanied by a juggling hand gesture.
