Springdale Family,
We are aware of the reported incident at the Des Moines National Speech & Debate Tournament at the EMC Expo Center today, June 19, 2025.
All Har-Ber High School and Don Tyson SOI Debate students, faculty, staff, and sponsors are safe and accounted for.
Here is a statement shared from the tournament officials:
This afternoon, an unidentified attendee entered the stage during the Humorous Interpretation Finals, interrupting the round. The individual has been subdued and removed from the premises. There were no weapons involved, and no threats were made. The hall was evacuated and there are no reported injuries. The rest of the venue has been swept for any potential threats by members of law enforcement. We understand the concerns people have, and we want to assure everyone that this is an isolated incident. We plan to resume the tournament later today and will aim to update attendees on the revised schedule by 4 PM CT.
