A 26-year-old man has been charged in the late-June shooting of two Somali men near the University of Minnesota.
Anthony Sawina, of Lauderdale, was charged in Hennepin County District Court Friday with five counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with the case.
Sawina allegedly shot at five Somali men, striking two, near the intersection of 14th Avenue Southeast and Sixth Street Southeast early June 29 after a member of Sawina’s group made derogatory comments directed toward Muslims.
