Salina Post has made a correction regarding a fight that occurred between 20 - 30 people in Salina on Sunday, June 8th.
According to the Salina Police Department (SPD) on Sunday, June 8th between 8:40 pm and 11:00 pm, SPD was called to respond to a street fight that involved 20 - 30 people in the 1600 block of Beverly. SPD told Salina Post that before the fight, "a dispute occurred at a quinceanera in the 4-H building (Bob Flaherty Dr.) on Saturday, June 7th.”
However according to multiple secondary sources, this information was not correct. Secondary sources advised Salina Post that on Saturday, June 7th a dispute took place “outside the quinceanera parking lot and that those involved were not apart of the event.” It was also stated that security at the quinceanera handled the situation at the parking lot and nobody who attended the event was involved.
SPD however did state that a fight between 20 - 30 people did take place on the 1600 block of Beverly. Those involved in that fight, fought each other with weapons that included baseball bats, sticks, beer bottles and a pickaxe. It was reported that one unidentified Salina person was struck in the back of the head with a beer bottle. The person received medical treatment.
