Story summary

A shooting occurred outside Eden Prairie High School in a Minneapolis suburb during a homecoming football game on Friday night, around 9 PM local time. The incident left two people injured, both identified as young Somali nationals aged 17 and 18 who were known to local law enforcement. One of the victims remained hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries while the other was discharged by Saturday morning. According to FOX 9 reporting, a fight broke out in the stadium parking lot before the shooting, which police believe is connected to gang activity among Somali immigrants in the area. The game against Minnetonka High School was canceled as a result of the incident and has been rescheduled for Monday, despite normal Friday night game schedules already planned. Some media outlets like the Washington Examiner have linked this event to broader immigration policies that facilitated the relocation of over 110,000 Somalis to the United States between 2000 and 2024, raising questions about gang-related violence in suburban American communities.
