Charges filed in drive-by shooting outside Burnsville High School graduation
Charges were filed Monday after gunshots were fired outside the Burnsville High School graduation on Friday night. No one was injured. The Dakota County Attorney's Office said in criminal complaints: Officers were working security and crowd control outside the high school. They were aware that two groups of people 'were arguing and flashing gang signs towards each other as officers were attempting to disperse the groups. Officers also broke up several physical altercations between the groups that evening.' At about 8:30 p.m., officers heard gunshots coming from the west side of the school. Bystanders directed them to a Toyota Camry, and officers detained the driver and front-seat passenger. The driver was identified as Abdikani Mukhtar Abdiwahab, 18, of Bloomington, and the passenger as Abdulahi Jama Ali, 18, of Shakopee. A bystander was heard saying, 'Ksoe, you missed. You dumb (expletive).' Officers learned Ali's nickname is 'Ksoe.' The bystander was wearing a leopard print or camo jacket. Witnesses reported the Camry's driver was driving recklessly and almost hit another vehicle. They saw a person in a leopard print jacket approach the Camry's passenger side, talk with the occupants and try to punch the Camry with his fist. A barrel of a gun then came out the front passenger window and someone opened fire. Officers found a handgun with an extended magazine under the front passenger seat and a bullet casing on the driver's side floorboard. They also found two bullet casings on the street and a parked vehicle with a bullet fragment in the driver's side headlight. Abdiwahab later told officers he hadn't fired a gun and said his DNA wouldn't be found on the gun taken from the Camry. DNA swabs were taken from the handgun and from Ali, after police obtained a search warrant, and are pending analysis at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Abdiwahab is charged with two counts each of aiding and abetting a drive-by shooting and aiding an offender. Ali is charged with second-degree assault and two counts of drive-by shooting. Both are jailed. The county attorney's office is seeking $200,00 bail or $100,000 with conditions for Abdiwahab, saying that he fired at least three shots from a handgun toward another person and an unoccupied vehicle after the graduation ceremony 'when all attendees were attempting to leave the area,' which was 'a great risk to public safety,' according to a memo about bail. Ali 'continued to drive from the scene and provided false and misleading information to law enforcement to prevent them from identifying' Abdiwahab as the shooter, said another memo about bail. The prosecution is requesting $160,000 bail or $80,000 with conditions. Two other people were arrested in the incident. It wasn't immediately clear if they would be charged Monday. The Friday before Burnsville's graduation, two people were injured in a shooting outside Mariucci Arena at the University of Minnesota after the Wayzata High School graduation ceremony. A 20-year-old from Coon Rapids is charged in that case. Under Patel, FBI heightens focus on violent crime, illegal immigration.

Travis Decker manhunt: What we know about search for dad suspected of killing 3 girls
Travis Decker manhunt: What we know about search for dad suspected of killing 3 girls Show Caption Hide Caption Manhunt for Travis Decker intensifies Authorities warn that Travis Decker, who is accused of kidnapping and killing his daughters, may be capable of surviving off the grid for months. Fox - Seattle Just over a week after three Washington girls were reported missing and later found dead, their suspected killer − their father − is still on the run. The girls, 5-year-old Olivia, 8-year-old Evelyn, and 9-year-old Paityn Decker, were visiting their dad, Travis Decker, 32, when they were last seen around 5 p.m. on May 30, according to the Wenatchee Police Department. At the time of the visit, Decker was living out of his vehicle, police said, later adding that investigators secured a warrant for Decker's arrest for three counts of custodial interference. The girls were found dead near a campground on June 2, three days after they were last seen alive. Decker is now wanted on charges of murder, kidnapping and custodial interference. On Friday, June 6, authorities from the Wenatchee Police Department and the Chelan County Sheriff's Office released new images of the girls' father. Here's everything we know about the case as the manhunt for Decker continues. What happened to Olivia, Evelyn, and Paityn? According to Wenatchee police, Decker was living out of his 2017 GMC Sierra pickup truck with license plates D20165C in Wenatchee, about 148 miles east of Seattle. The girls' mother called for help around 9:45 p.m. on May 30 and said her children were at a planned visit with their father. He never returned the girls, so she called for help. Wenatchee police said they "immediately began working" to find Decker and the girls and entered Decker's vehicle into a local flock database, which showed that the vehicle traveled westbound on a highway from Wenatchee on May 30. Police said they also checked all motels in the area and found nothing. According to police, someone contacted Washington State Patrol that same night to request an AMBER alert, but the case "did not meet the required criteria." The next day, Wenatchee police contacted the Washington State Police again with more information and an Endangered Missing Person Alert was issued. USA TODAY has contacted the Wenatchee Police Department, Chelan County Sheriff's Office, and the Washington State Patrol for comments. By June 2, three days after the girls were last seen, authorities had narrowed down their search to an area between two roads in Washington. Investigators found Decker's vehicle around 3:45 p.m. on June 2 near a campground. There was no one in the vehicle, but when investigators searched the surrounding area, they found the bodies of the three girls. Their father was not found that day. Upon learning more about how the case was handled, some social media users took to the comments to call out authorities for their lack of urgency in finding the girls. 'Following this story, you failed this family,' wrote one Facebook user. 'You didn't act immediately and because of that this mom has lost her girls forever. I hope everyone of you that told her that more time had to pass before action could be (taken) lose sleep over this.' Where have authorities searched for Travis Decker? The U.S. Forest Service overseeing the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest issued a forest closure on June 4 for the area where the girls were found. They rescinded the closure on June 8. 'Authorities are searching for a murder suspect and we encourage everyone to remain alert,' the service said. 'If you must be in the vicinity, please stay aware of your surroundings and follow any official guidance from Chelan County Sheriff's Office.' Searches have spanned forested areas, the river, and many structures in the area Decker was last known to be in, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said. Washington governor Bob Ferguson announced on June 7 that emergency funds would be used to help with the search for Decker. 'As a parent, my heart goes out to Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia's mom, Whitney, and all those who love them,' the governor said. Fugitive father is skilled in surviving outdoors, former military The Chelan County Sheriff's Office is working with the U.S. Marshals PNVOTF to find Decker, the office said, adding that a reward of up to $20,000 is available for information leading to his arrest. 'The suspect is not known to be armed at this time, but should be considered dangerous,' the sheriff's office said on June 3. The office added on June 4 that Decker previously served in the military and has had 'extensive training.' He is also 'well versed in wilderness survival and capable of spending days or even weeks in the wilderness on his own and with very little equipment.' The office also released video footage and photos captured days before his visitation with the girls. Investigators released the images so the public can see what he looked like most recently. Decker is 5-feet-8, weighs 190 pounds, has black hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts, police said. The department asked that anyone who sees Decker call 911. Those who see him should not contact or approach him.

‘Like something out of Grand Theft Auto': Father of six recounts chaotic east Hamilton carjacking
Magok Lam Jock was inching through rush-hour traffic on Kenilworth Avenue North, windows down and music playing, when he noticed a dishevelled man weaving between a cluster of cars ahead. 'I thought it was a panhandler,' he said. 'Maybe he was going to ask me for money.' But the man wasn't after spare change. He wanted a new set of wheels — and a quick ride out of town. Minutes earlier on June 2, according to Hamilton police, the man was involved in a two-vehicle crash at Main Street East and Tuxedo Avenue , just down the road from Kenilworth. Police said the man had a crashed a stolen Toyota Camry into an SUV. Once officers arrived and approached to help, he made a break for it. The man ran about 100 or so metres down Main, past a pizza shop and an advance loans store, before bending the corner on Kenilworth and darting into a buildup of 5 p.m. traffic. Eventually, he came across a grey Toyota Highlander — and an oblivious Lam Jock. A day after he was carjacked, Magok Lam Jock's Toyota Highlander was found abandoned and heavily damaged. With no key left behind — and the SUV only having one-way insurance — the unemployed father-of-six is now without a vehicle. 'He came up to my window, leaned in and grabbed my neck,' the 42-year-old father-of-six recalled. 'I realized then he wasn't homeless looking for money — he was looking for cars with windows down.' What ensued was a frantic, close-quarters altercation Lam Jock likened to something out of a video game. As Lam Jock's foot slipped off the brake, he said the man kept hold of his neck, walking with the moving vehicle while other cars slowly drove past. After a struggle, the car stopped. Lam Jock said the attacker managed to unbuckle his seatbelt. A few seconds later, he was on the concrete, ripped out of the driver's seat and hurled onto the road. 'It was so quick I had no time to think,' Lam Jock told The Spectator. By the time he processed what happened, the man was pulling a U-turn and fleeing north up Kenilworth. The phoneless Lam Jock — he left his cell in the cupholder — stood on the street bewildered until he spotted an out-of-breath police officer who had run toward the carjacking from the crash scene. When he called his wife with a borrowed phone to explain, she almost didn't believe him. 'Like literally something out of GTA (Grand Theft Auto),' said Candice D'Arrigo, Lam Jock's wife. 'I came home and told our kids daddy got carjacked and even they said, 'Oh you're lying, you're lying. That only happens in movies.'' On June 3, Hamilton police found the Highlander abandoned near Belmont and Roxborough avenues , its headlight blown out and front end mangled. Police said Friday the vehicle was spotted significantly damaged in Niagara a few hours after the brazen theft. 'A total loss,' D'Arrigo said, noting her husband's car, an early 2010s model, was on one-way insurance that didn't cover repairs or rentals. And even if it was insured, the carjacker left no key behind. 'It's not leaving the scrapyard.' The loss couldn't come at a worse time for the unemployed Lam Jock, according to D'Arrigo. 'It's his only car. He needs it to go out and look for jobs,' she said, adding a GoFundMe has been set up for those able to help the family. Hamilton police continue to look for a suspect in the chaotic crash-turned-carjacking. Anyone with information or camera footage of either incident is asked to contact investigators at 905-546-2930 .
