The five people shot and wounded in a Burnsville park last week are teenagers, and police said Wednesday they’ve interviewed about 50 witnesses so far.

There are multiple suspects but no one was under arrest as of Wednesday afternoon.

The shooting in Burnsville’s Red Oak Park happened about 8:15 p.m. Friday. Gunshots were fired toward the basketball court area of the park, which is on River Hills Drive.

Burnsville police are requesting that people check their home surveillance video from Friday between 7:45 and 8:30 p.m. and call Detective Mitch Carlson at 952-641-1156 if they find anything that could be helpful to the investigation.

The five injured are males: a 16-year-old, 17-year-old, two 18-year-olds and a 19-year-old. Two remained hospitalized as of Wednesday due to their injuries, police said.

“We have dozens of investigators diligently following all available leads,” Police Chief Tanya Schwartz said in a statement. “Our crime scene team continues to process evidence and look into all aspects of the scene. When incidents like this happen in our community, we all feel the trauma and loss of our collective sense of safety. We know residents may feel uneasy, and we take seriously our duty to find those responsible and bring them justice.”

Burnsville police are working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on the investigation.

Police said they continue to provide extra patrols in the Red Oak Park area.
