Mini Riot At Henderson Aquatic Center

Who says going swimming is a safe sport.
It has been reported to me that there was a large fight at the Henderson Aquatic Center, which is located just down the street of the K-Mart on Race Track Dr.  The name of the park is Heritage Aquatic park and is located on Burkholder and Race Track.
Apparently some kids were not paying attention in what they were doing and injured a younger swimmer.  Her family took exception and starting a verbal fight and a possible physical fight erupted.  The life guards broke up the fight and kicked the kids out the pool, but some kids  adult came back and started a physical fight in which many people were punched, including at least 2 life guards.  My wife is trying to get the kids and her out of the swimming area but is having some problems.
Who said there is no crime in Henderson.
Will update later.
Update: Instead of a younger kid coming back,the mother of the kid hurt was the one who came back and restarting the hostilities.
And this was a fight between a black family and the young kids were white, though no racial epithets were spoken.
No injuries were reported.
It seems like there are issues in some of the Henderson parks.  At Hidden Hills Park, by Horizon and Horizon Ridge, there have been numerous fights and the park district had to hire security guards to babysit the basketball players and the skate boarders.  I guess Henderson is no longer a Mayberry city anymore.
