Two teens injured in suspected gang-related shooting at Minnesota school game
A shooting in the parking lot of Eden Prairie High School's homecoming football game in the Minneapolis suburbs on Friday left two teenagers injured. The incident, which authorities believe was gang-related, prompted an immediate evacuation of the stadium during the fourth quarter, with the game subsequently postponed and the school's homecoming dance cancelled.
Two Somali males, aged 18 and 17, were shot in the parking lot following a larger altercation on the stadium grounds that police had already dispersed. The 18-year-old was discharged from hospital on Saturday, whilst the 17-year-old remains hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities are pursuing multiple leads and have asked the public for information, though they have not yet identified specific suspects.
