“I would ask that parents and community guardians be curious about what their young people are doing,” IMPD Deputy Chief Terry added.
IMPD also said there were also multiple disturbances and fights just south of the circle where large groups of both adults and juveniles had gathered. Police say one adult was arrested for battery and disorderly conduct.
