A weekend celebration for a national cheerleading competition has turned chaotic with reports of a shooter in the area. The National Cheerleading Association (NCA) was holding day two of its weekend-long All-Star National Championships at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas when a shooting reportedly broke out and prompted an evacuation and police response.
Dallas police responded to an incident near the convention center and the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas around 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 1. Posts from users on X reported that a fight broke out and caused a disturbance, leading to evacuations.
Gunshots were reportedly heard on the site of the NCA competition before the venue was evacuated. Videos shared online showed people fleeing the area shouting about an active shooter.
MySA has reached out to Dallas PD for more information. The presence of a shooter has yet to be confirmed by officials, nor has there been confirmation of any injuries.
Dallas police have set up a reunion site at Dallas Police Headquarters, 1400 Botham Jean Blvd. for parents and athletes. This is a developing story and will be updated with more information.
