Every weekend since May, Dustin Sanchez and his neighbors have blockaded their uptown neighborhood after sunset shutting down and patrolling their own streets, communicating on walkie talkies, sometimes armed because those are the most dangerous hours. It is a risky routine. In late June, a shootout erupted around them. Eleven people were hurt, with close calls for his crew.
Dustin Sanchez: It happened about 12:30, and you just hear a pop, pop, pop. And then pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Scott: The bullets were whizzing by you? Sanchez: They hit some windows there. They hit the movie theater; they hit the shoe store. Scott: You've never seen anything like this here?
Sanchez: No, never. Never.
Scott: A few miles away, across town, more barricades put up. Abdi Hassan and his neighbors are on watch and ready for anything. Scott: So you went and bought a shotgun? Abdi Hassan: Yes.
Scott: Abdi came from war-torn Somalia where hed seen warlords reign with violence. Here in Minneapolis, he has now seen his wife and children, confronted at gunpoint.
Scott: They pointed the gun at your kids?
Hassan: By the time I was coming down the stairs with the shotgun, I heard a shot. So now I'm thinking: "Who got hurt?" Is it my wife? Is it my kids? So by the time I came out of the door, the guy who shot the bullet, went into my wife's car, and tried to take her keys. She got hold of his gun, his hand, and she was going like this, and he let her go.
