Was there a ruckus at Urban Air last night? WAPT reported:
Chaos erupted in a newly opened trampoline park in Jackson after park goers say fights broke out sending the park into a lockdown.
According to Jackson police, a fight broke out inside Urban Air Adventure Park Saturday night.
Investigators say the kids involved went back to their cars to grab guns and tried to get back inside of the building, but were told to leave.
Reports say the kids started shooting in the parking lot. However, police have not been able to confirm whether or not there was a shooting outside. WAPT story.
Urban Air issued the following statement on it's Facebook page today:
•Safety is our highest priority, and we take any disruption at our park very seriously.•It’s important for our guests and employees to know there were no weapons found inside or outside of our facility, just misinformation being spread on social media.•Local law enforcement can confirm this as well.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who even considers investing in Jackson.
You'd have to be a damned fool to open any business of this sort in Jackson - Or any other venue where yoots are likely to gather.
Pretty much how the country is being run... NO ONE really knows what the f..k is going on.
LOL! No you can’t. Disrespect, you get the TEC.
I hate to say it but the owner of this business just shot himself in the foot…no pun intended. Why would anyone in their right mind invest that much money in a crime ridden city? All I can say is we didn’t do things like this when we were growing up. The world is changing for the worse.
Stokes announced a proposal to outlaw gun sales in Jackson. Maybe enforce laws that help find stolen guns first. Like Stop and Search, perhaps by surprise roadblocks in high crime areas.
I recently listened to Thomas Sowell’s “White liberals and Black Rednecks” since so many of you people recommended him. According to Uncle Tom Sowell, he wrote that this is all white peoples fault. Thug culture is redneck culture and that means white southern “cracker” culture. That explains the Goon Squad too. You Niknar whites own it.
But let’s all go have a protest over how Heflin is not using “our” people to fix the water system. As if that’s Jackson’s biggest problem.
The owners moved here from Texas and apparently didn't do their homework about Jackson. However, even if they established their business in Ridgeland the Jackson thugs would still come there.
It's right next to the M-Bar. What could possibly go wrong? Now the owners know why they got such a good deal on their building.
No KF, we can't have nice things. Jakson thugs ruin literally everything they touch. The mayor refuses to call out the violence or do anything about it other than a pre-election photo-op with Tate and Capital Police for a perception of giving a damn. For the Sake of Ridgeland, I hope top golf has tight security.
Anyone who follows local happenings knew this would occur. My question is who in the hell thought this would be a viable business in the first place? Don’t the people with this kind of money to invest know how to Google “Jackson crime?”
Excellent cinematography. Wonder when we'll see the full blown shootout.
When I saw on the local news that this place was opening I remarked to my wife that I wondered how long it would take for this place to turn into a s_it show. Not very long.
The thugs will be back. Film at 11.
These type of venues are known as "attractive nuisances."
Top Golf is next
Without several armed security guards, metal detectors, and a restricted parking area such a business cannot function for the entertainment of Jackson youth. But who wants to operate a business with those requirements?
That narrator must have some real experience dealing with an active shooter event. She never dropped the phone to gather the kids but just kept on focused on her phone and sure as hell not what was going on around her. The kids don’t seem to be her priority.
That's really too bad. The City of Jackson needs more constructive things for kids to do, but the bad seeds ruin it for everyone. What do you do when teenagers carry guns and aren't afraid to pull the trigger over something simple?
There is a large percentage of Jackson teens who crave any opportunity to shoot at somebody. Really. And this place is an open invitation.
Sad Day for our Country, State & City.
The Equality movement has made criminals = to law abiding citizens.

Stop & search roadblock have been made illegal by the NAACP, The Southern Poverty Law Center & the American Civil Liberties Union due to the perceived targeting of blacks.
But, if the city of Jackson was serious about lowering crime, they would use this effective tool to rid the streets of guns. this would remove all the stolen guns from Jackson which is around 60%.
Why doesn't Kenneth Stokes, the Mayor support this? I'm sure the common citizen would happily support this.
No guns were "found" because they were tossed.
How about a combination trampoline park and shooting range? That should work.
Top Golf and Walk On are the death nail of Ridgeland.
This place on County Line never had a chance. Business can’t move off of County Line quick enough.
No reliable water and bullets flying. I’m sure Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus are lined up to open stores where there would be no reliable water, 911 does not answer, there are barely any police, there is trash thrown everywhere and there are always carjackings. And, not a damn crime solved or anyone in jail.
That corrupt M Bar is not their “good neighbor” either.
Urban Air needs to declare bankruptcy and run before their insurance liability carrier cancels them.
Chick-Fil-A needs to get out of there.
I love reading the comments and spotting the differences between the incidents with youths in the Rankin/Madison area and compare to those of Hinds county. Seems to me it's the same combination of youth, stupidity, thuggery, and machismo.
The owners obviously didn't talk to Chuk-e-Cheese, or any of the closed movie theatre owners.
This violent behavior will always crush any long lasting recreation sources.
Is worldstar still a thing? I was waiting to hear it but to my surprise I didn't.
That facebook live poster is an idiot. There are a lot of mouth breathers like her spreading bullshit.
Not surprised at all considering the location.....
“We can put our shoes on in the car” lmao
7:44 That is Jackson as Ridgeland is on he lent side of County Line Road like Northpar. Just FYI
11:38 You forgot one thing that makes the difference....GUNS!
@8:01
Top Golf is 100% guaranteed to be a disaster. Ridgeland was foolish to let it ever happen.
All the Bridgewater folks that lost their minds over Costco should have directed that at Walk Ons.
It really seems to be inviting the criminal element to that area. I do think Top Golf will be facing hurdles too.
Its sad that we let Jackson criminal ruin so much, but you cannot make a change when the majority of the voting base is a criminal or has a loved one who is.
@1:36 PM "Ridgeland is on he lent side of County Line Road..." Maybe they will give up their guns for LENT.
@2:05 PM - Agree, and alcohol will be served there. Like stadiums and airport terminals, what could possibly go wrong.
As businesses leave Jackson, the thugs have to go to Ridgeland and Madison to rob and pillage. Besides, it's conveniently on the way to and from Canton. But, you can't put Walk Ons and Top Golf in the same category as M Bar...yet.
@3:39. Jackistan has tried several slogans, such as "Jackson -The Bold New City" and "Jackson- The City With Soul". It's time for a new one "Jackson - Nothing Left To Steal"!
1015: I don't usually read long post, but yours was worth it and dead on.
I've eaten at Walk Ons it seemed safe to me. what am I missing? I saw blacks and whites enjoying lunch there. The area looks cheap with Costco, the gas station, and Wendy's there. I would have thought there would have been better planning.
Is Walk Ons a "gun free zone?"
Dammit @2:21. I laughed so hard I snorted bourbon out my nose. What a waste of good bourbon but what the hell, I got A Good laugh.
I don’t understand why they don’t have security in place and I would recommend a metal detector for that location. I hope the future planetarium learn from this which I’m looking forward to that 2025. I was planning to take my kids to urban air this weekend after seeing you tube videos from other states bc it appears super nice! It’s poor planning by owners by not having proper security in place for that location. Why should the innocent children suffer over some ignorant hoodlums, get the security in place!
Shooting all around your kids and your first instinct is to take your phone out?
10:11 PM, “Why should the innocent children suffer?”
Because leftist Democrats use crime to get and keep control of cities like Jackson for decades (forever?). Allowing rampant crime is a tactic to keep citizens that are smart enough not to reelect the same pro-lawlessness failure candidates like Chokwe - over and over and over.
Rich white Democrats trade their silence and refusal to be bipartisan in support of making Jackson safer – in exchange for the votes Chokwe et al can get them in state and national elections.
It’s too polite but still a great article:
