A shooting outside Eden Prairie High School's homecoming football game left two people injured Friday night. The incident happened around 8:40 p.m. in a parking lot near the north side of the school, prompting authorities to evacuate Aerie Stadium, according to People Magazine. Both victims are hospitalized but expected to recover, and neither attended Eden Prairie or Minnetonka high schools, CBS News reported.
Shooting Erupts During Homecoming Game
The shooting shattered the fall tradition at Eden Prairie High School on Friday evening. Two people were shot in a parking lot adjacent to the stadium where the homecoming game was underway. Authorities quickly evacuated the stadium and secured the area, CBS News reported. Police say the incident was targeted, suggesting the violence was not random.
Victims Not Connected to the Schools
Both injured individuals were taken to hospitals for treatment. People Magazine noted that neither victim was a student at Eden Prairie High School or Minnetonka High School. Officials expect both to recover from their injuries. The non-student connection suggests the incident may stem from a conflict outside the school community.
Investigation Ongoing, No Arrests Yet
Police maintained a large presence at the scene as they worked to piece together what led to the shooting. Investigators believe the violence was targeted rather than random or general. No arrests have been made as of the latest reports. The case remains under investigation as authorities gather evidence and witness statements from the chaotic scene.
