They arrived to party but didn't see enough girls, so they demanded their money back.
Then, the gunfire started.
An Eden Prairie teen has been charged in a shooting at a Lakeville trailer home Sunday that injured four partygoers, and two men have been charged with helping him conceal a semiautomatic pistol as they drove him away.
The shooting allegedly took place after the gunman and his friends were refused a refund on their entry fee at a house party, which they had left because of the lack of women.
The Dakota County attorney's office Wednesday charged Mohamed Yusef Hussein, 16, with four counts of second-degree assault. County Attorney James Backstrom said he filed a court motion to have Hussein certified to stand trial as an adult because of the seriousness of the crime.
Jibril Farah Mohamed, 18, of Burnsville, and Mohamud Ahmed Hassan, 19, of Minneapolis, were both charged with aiding an offender, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Hassan, who is wanted in Hennepin County in connection with a near-fatal shooting in Minneapolis in August, is being held in lieu of $1.7 million bail at the Dakota County Jail in Hastings. Charges in that case were filed Feb. 26.
Mohamed is being held in Hastings in lieu of $100,000 bail. Hussein is being held in the Juvenile Services Center in Hastings.
According to the criminal complaints, Lakeville police responded to reported gunfire on Caesar Avenue shortly after midnight Sunday. They Advertisement Quantcast found a male shot in the forearm, another shot in the thigh, a third shot in the buttock and a female who had been shot slightly below the ankle.
"They're all out of the hospital," Backstrom said. "They're non-life-threatening injuries, but obviously, this could have been deadly."
More than a dozen adults and teenagers were at the residence when police arrived, according to the charges.
Witnesses told them a group of five males arrived between 11 p.m. and midnight and paid an entrance Mohamud Ahmed Hassan fee but later asked for their money back because there were not enough women at the party.
"The residents did not want to return the money, and they asked the group to leave," reads the criminal complaint against Mohamed. "An argument ensued, after which Jibril Mohamed and his friends left the home."
Two women described going to a window to watch the men leave and seeing a man in blue jeans and a gray-hooded sweat shirt walk back toward the residence, pull out a handgun and fire. A female friend standing next to one of the witnesses was hit, according to the criminal complaint.
One witness later was able to identify Hussein from a photo lineup.
Officers documented seven bullet holes in the exterior of the home and apparent bullet holes inside. They also located seven shell casings for 9mm Luger rounds, according to the complaints.
The three men were stopped in a car registered to Mohamed's sister at 179th Street and Flagstaff Avenue and arrested. Hussein initially gave a false name and date of birth, according to the charges.
When questioned by police, the three denied any involvement in the shooting. Mohamed said he had left the party and was driving away when he received a phone call about it.
Hussein said he was a block away when he heard gunshots. Police, however, observed a fresh cut on the web of his right hand, between the thumb and forefinger, where a semiautomatic handgun would slide back during discharge.
Hassan told police he was so drunk, he stayed in the car and never went into the party. "When asked about hearing gunshots, he said that he didn't know anything about that," the complaint said.
Officers retraced the route driven by Mohamed's car and found a Ruger 9mm handgun with the serial number filed off in a grassy area of a Cub Foods parking lot.
Hussein's next court appearance is Tuesday in Hastings. The next court appearance for Mohamed and Hassan is April 27.
Hassan is wanted in Hennepin County in connection with the shooting of two men Aug. 14 in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis. The victims survived and were able to identify Hassan and three other suspects from a photo lineup, according to charges in that case.
The Hennepin County attorney's office charged him last month with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and three counts of attempted second-degree murder.
The 9x19, also called the 9mm Luger or the 9mm Parabellum, was adopted by the German Army in 1908 as the cartridge for the famous Luger pistol. It is possible to walk into most stores that carry ammo and ask for 9mm or 9mm Luger or 9x19 and they will know what you mean.
Sausage and lead party.
Not to hijack the thread with an ammo discussion, but is there any practical difference between 9 mm Luger and any other 9 mm ammo? In other words, could I use regular 9 mm ammo in my old Luger (if I had one) and use the 9 mm Luger ammo in my Glock (if I had one)? (I’m a .45 ACP guy, myself, so I don’t know.)
The 9 mm Glocks use 9 mm Luger as do the rest of the commonly available 9 mm handguns.

Hussein, Hassan, Mohammad...ya know...trouble just seems to follow those names around.
How can you be shot slightly??? Either you are shot or you are not. Slightly, where in the hell do these Journalism grads go to school???
Slightly,,, Yeah right..
So, any bets: were these lads Minnesota Somalis, or some segment of our homegrown Muslim population?
LOL!! Judging by the perps age, you mean from his great-grandpa
The scary thing is that the three guys were named, Muhammed, Muhammed, and Muhammed.
The even worse thing is that, likely (correct me if I am wrong), they were not named Muhammed at birth.
In other words, guys are changing their name to Muhammed, and then...killing.
Naw. There was no mention about them bringing casseroles or three-bean salad.
There weren't enough women.
≤]B^)
The Germans call it "9mm kurz (short)."
The price of admission...
...and apparently, the availability of women!
Cheers!
...oh, hi ,T.C. We keep on running into the same threads tonight.
Hope you're feeling better. (Cause articles like this about my beloved Minneapolis make me *sick*.)
You're obviously not a Minnesotan.
Here, we call it a "hot-dish".
Uffda.
I'm thinking typical miscreant Presbyterians.
9x19, 9mm Luger and 9mm Parabellum are the same round and you can use them interchangably for any firearm chambered for those rounds. How ever there are more then those type of 9mm rounds. There is the 9mm kurtz, the 9mm Largo, the 9x19, the 9x23 and I’m sure some I’ve never heard of
The second 9x19 should read 9x18
Thanks to all the FReeper firearms experts for their input on 9 mm lore. Now, it’s off to bed with my .45 ACP under my pillow.
