Eden Prairie Police are actively seeking suspects following a shooting incident that occurred on October 2, 2026, at Aerie Stadium during a homecoming football game between the Eden Prairie Eagles and the Minnetonka Skippers. The incident, which took place in the fourth quarter, was preceded by a large altercation on the west side of the stadium. After the altercation was broken up and some individuals were removed from the grounds, a shooting was reported in the high school’s parking lot. Authorities believe the shooting is gang-related, with three independent law enforcement sources confirming links to Somali gang activity. Two victims, an 18-year-old male and a 17-year-old male, sustained gunshot injuries. Neither victim is a student at Eden Prairie Schools. The 18-year-old was released from the hospital, while the 17-year-old remains in medical care with non-life-threatening injuries. As of the latest report on October 3, 2026, no arrests have been made, and police do not have sufficiently specific suspect information to release publicly. The investigation remains open. Eden Prairie Police Chief Matt Sackett confirmed that officers responded quickly to the scene. The department is urging anyone with information regarding the shooting to contact them.
