Missouri police are trying to identify the people involved in a brawl that broke out in the self-checkout area of a Ferguson Walmart this week.
Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall said the melee broke out Tuesday night, after another, small incident earlier in the evening that was handled by staff without calling police.
“Apparently, it kicked back up shortly thereafter,” he told KMOV.
The chief said officers arrived at 9 p.m. for the second incident, but it, too, was already settling down when they got here. Officers are working to get surveillance video from inside the store — but videos posted all over social media showed people fighting, throwing objects, and setting off fire extinguishers.
“I’ve seen some videos on social media, and it’s disgraceful. I’m going to call it like it is,” said McCall.
McCall said there were 10 to 25 people involved in the altercations and that detectives have identified some of the people involved.
