Two teens were shot on Friday night at the Eden Prairie High School homecoming football game against Minnetonka.
Crime Watch Minneapolis began receiving multiple messages and video clips about 9 p.m. indicating that the game was being evacuated amid the smell of gunpowder and law enforcement from multiple agencies were arriving at the scene.
Available emergency dispatch audio subsequently indicated that two males, approximate ages 17 and 18, had been shot, one in the foot, the other in the calf.
Eden Prairie police released a brief statement indicating the injuries were not life-threatening:
“At approximately 8:40 p.m. this evening, Eden Prairie Police responded to shots fired outside Aerie Stadium on the north side of Eden Prairie High School during the homecoming football game versus Minnetonka.
Two individuals were shot and transported to Hennepin Healthcare with non-life-threatening injuries. Neither victim is a student at Eden Prairie or Minnetonka schools.
The shooting is believed to be targeted. No arrests have been made. This is an active investigation and additional information will be provided as soon as it’s available.”
No information was offered by police regarding suspects. However, police indicated in publicly available radio dispatches that they had images of the suspects.
Law enforcement sources told Alpha News senior reporter Liz Collin that Somali gangs were responsible.
Reaction on social media was swift and reflected disappointment, including from former state Rep. Pat Garofalo, who described the shooting as the “sort of shit that happens in Chicago and Detroit. Not here.”

I spent some time there in the 90s. Beautiful place. I think it was voted the best place to live in America at one point.
Not so much anymore.
Looks like a non-story to me.

People get shot in this country every day....big deal. All kinds of gangs in this country doing all kinds of shooting.... Not sure why you think Somali gangs are somehow MOAR WORSER than other gangs, including white gangs.
you can't see why somali gangs shooting up a high school football game in America is an issue?
You can't see why a white gang shooting up a high school football game in America is just as bad?
Come on Sean, can’t you see it’s ok because some Americans shoot people? the more violence and crime the better.
