13 Arrested in Bayshore Mall 'Teen Takeover' as Copycat Gathering Triggers Gunfire Near Milwaukee Park

The fast-growing flash mobs show how online calls can overwhelm plans made by police and mall security.

Overview

  • Glendale police arrested 13 people on recommended counts of disorderly conduct, battery, and resisting after a social‑media 'teen takeover' flooded Bayshore Mall on Sunday.
  • Police had been alerted to the posts and worked with mall management to boost security, yet news crews documented hundreds of teens and several fights across the property.
  • Violence interrupters helped disperse the crowd while officers and mall security ordered people to leave the area.
  • A day later, a separate takeover near Milwaukee’s Moody Park drew a shots‑fired police response that sent crowds running, with investigators still reviewing what happened.
  • The episodes have renewed talk of parental oversight and curfews, and Bayshore already requires an adult with visitors under 18 after 3 p.m. on weekends.
