'You missed': New details emerge as teens charged in Burnsville graduation night shooting originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Two 18-year-olds from Bloomington and Shakopee are facing drive-by shooting charges in connection to an incident following the Burnsville High School graduation ceremony on Friday, June 6. Abdulahi Jama Ali, of Shakopee, and Abdikani Mukhtar Abdiwahab, of Bloomington, were charged Monday in Dakota County District Court, Ali is charged with two counts of drive-by shooting and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. Abdiwahab is facing two drive-by shooting charges and other counts for aiding an offender. According to the criminal complaint, gunshots rang out west of Burnsville High School around 8:30 p.m., which was approximately 30 minutes after the graduation ceremony concluded. The shots were fired after police on scene had already broken up "several physical altercations" and attempted to disperse two groups who were "flashing gang signs towards each other." Ali and Abdiwahab were arrested after bystanders pointed police in the direction of the black Toyota Camry they were in. Abdiwahab was driving and Ali was in the front passenger seat, according to the complaint. While arresting the duo, officers heard a bystander shout, "Ksoe, you missed. You dumb ass. You missed." The complaint claims that Ali's nickname is "Ksoe." Further investigation revealed, allegedly, that the bystander who mocked "Ksoe" for missing was seen earlier — by witnesses in a vehicle behind the Toyota Camry — approach the Camry and talk with the duo before he "tried to punch the Camry" before the witness "saw the barrel of a gun come out of the front passenger window and open fire." Police found a handgun with an extended magazine under the front passenger seat. They also found one bullet casing on the driver's side floorboard and two more casings on the street by the vehicle. One bullet fragment was found lodged into the headlight of a vehicle parked nearby. Abdiwahab allegedly waived his Miranda rights and claimed he didn't shoot a gun and didn't know anything about a gun being shot. He also said he didn't know how a gun wound up in his car. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension collected DNA samples from the gun, Ali and Abdiwahab for analysis. No one was physically injured in the shooting.

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.
