FARGO — One person was shot and a male juvenile was later arrested after a fight broke out at a south Fargo New Years Eve party.
Fargo police were dispatched at 10:31 p.m. Tuesday to multiple reports of a shooting in the 2500 block of 15th Street South.
Officers learned that juveniles attending a party had begun fighting in the hallway of the apartment building. A person from a neighboring unit tried to break up the fight between two boys in the hallway and was struck by gunfire, police said.
The unnamed shooting victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; three other unnamed victims were treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries from the fight.
The shooting suspect fled the scene before officers arrived. The Metro Area Street Crimes unit was called to assist and later found and arrested the juvenile suspect at 3:22 a.m. at his home in Glyndon, Minn. The unnamed boy is accused of aggravated assault with a firearm, police said.
Fargo police said no further information will be released at this time.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
On New Year’s Eve in Fargo, North Dakota, a fight broke out that resulted in one person being shot and a boy being arrested. The incident occurred late in the evening as people were celebrating the arrival of the new year.
According to reports, the altercation began as a verbal argument between two individuals at a party. The situation quickly escalated and led to one person pulling out a gun and firing a shot, striking another individual. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police were called to the scene and were able to apprehend the boy believed to be responsible for the shooting. He was taken into custody and is facing charges related to the incident.
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the dangers that can arise when conflicts are not resolved peacefully. As we enter a new year, let us strive for peace and understanding in our interactions with others, and work towards creating a safer and more harmonious community for all.
