What we found

Supports. FOX 9 reports that two teenagers, ages 17 and 18, from St. Paul were taken to the hospital after a shooting outside the Eden Prairie High School homecoming football game.[1]

Supports. MPR News reports that the Friday night shooting outside the homecoming football game left two people injured, both from St. Paul, with the 17-year-old hospitalized and the 18-year-old discharged.[2]

Supports. KSTP reports that two 17- and 18-year-olds were shot and wounded in a parking lot outside the stadium during the homecoming game, and police reported the victims' ages and residence in the same account.[3]

Supports. Mncrime.com reports that police said the two shot, ages 18 and 17, were both from Saint Paul and that the shooting occurred in a parking lot outside Eden Prairie High School during the homecoming game.[4]

Context. The victims are described as Somali males, and police called the shooting gang-related; the claim's ages and St. Paul residence are consistent across the sources, though some outlets say the victims' ages are 17 and 18 rather than strictly 'teenagers' for the older one.[4][5]

Context. Sources describe the shooting as occurring outside the stadium or in the adjacent parking lot rather than inside the stadium, which is a peripheral locational difference from the claim's wording.[1][2][3]
