New Year’s Eve party at Fargo apartment ends in gunfire
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – Multiple people are recovering after a New Year’s Eve party at a Fargo apartment ended in gunfire.
A teen boy was arrested in the case Wednesday morning at his home in Glyndon, Minnesota on aggravated assault with a firearm.
“It was around 10: 15 p.m. I was laying down. I just wanted to go to bed,” Tanya Frank said. “Next thing you know, I heard shots fired.”
Frank is the one who called police. She’s come to know her neighbors well in her eight years at the Southwood Apartments, west of the Bowler.
“You don’t want anybody you love to get hurt,” she added.
Neighbors said a fight broke out in the hallway and a young mother of five stepped out to see what was going on. Four shots rang out and she was struck in the leg by a stray bullet.
“I called to see if she was ok, if she knew what was going on,” Frank said. “I found out she was in the hospital. Talking to her husband, going through the tears, it’s heartbreaking.”
“I hate to say it, but maybe don’t step in. Let the police show up, unfortunately,” neighbor Justin Wiedrich said. “You don’t know what’s happening or how dangerous it can be. She’s in the hospital and she’s a wonderful lady.”
Three others were hurt in the fight. They tell Valley News Live they were having a party when two teen boys, who they didn’t know, showed up.
“In 30 years I’ve seen quite a lot around here. Multiple shootings, assaults,” Wiedrich added. “Last night really took the cake. There was a police presence around the entire block, probably 15-20 cars, multiple officers.”
Those like Frank echoed his concerns.
“There’s a whole lot of problems with safety here,” Frank said. “I need to get out of here.”
Everyone involved is expected to be ok. Police are still investigating.
