The NCA All-Star National Competition occurred from February 28 – March 2, 2025.
NCA is the National Cheerleader Association which takes place every year for teams from all over the world to come and compete. Over the past weekend, the 2025 NCA nationals were held in Dallas, Texas.
The teams started to compete on March 1, when they heard loud bangs leading them to believe it was gunshots. Everyone started to scatter and evacuate the convention center the second they heard the noises. 10 people were injured in the evacuation and were taken to the hospital with no life-threatening injuries.
The loud noises were caused by two parents who were fighting and knocked over 2 long metal poles. So far no one has been charged with anything involving the incident and the competition resumed on Sunday, March 2. To learn more information about the incident check out FOX 4.
