ORLAND PARK, IL — One woman has been charged following a fight involving a gun outside of Gizmo's Fun Factory Saturday night, village officials said.

Police responded to the indoor entertainment park at 66 Orland Square Drive Saturday night for a "domestic related incident." Authorities arrested four people at the time, but only 24-year-old Kinara Allmon was charged.

According to officers, Allmon was seen holding a gun when a man walked towards her and tried to grab it from her hands. The two struggled for the weapon, which caused Allmon to fire into the air, police said. The man was then able to take the gun away from Allmon before police arrested both of them.

The parking lot was also the site of another fight that began in Gizmo's Fun Factory earlier this month which ended in three arrests. Police spokesman Kenneth Rosinski said the fight started between two people in different parties at the fun park.

"Our local businesses shouldn't be attacked because of actions they have no control over," said Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau at a village board meeting in response to criticism of Sky Zone and Gizmo's Fun Factory.

According to Gizmo's website, the game zone and accompanying beer and wine bar are open until 10 p.m. on Saturdays.

Allmon, of Chicago, was in court Monday and she was released on a $10,000 I bond.
