Rosedale Center was temporarily shut down on Saturday evening after a fight involving several dozen teens left one 16-year-old in critical condition with multiple stab wounds in his back and an 18-year-old with severe lacerations to his face.
About 7:45 p.m., police received a report that a dozen people were fighting inside the mall near the upper-level entrance to Herberger’s department store. Callers told police dispatch they were using chairs as weapons.
A 17-year-old St. Paul boy, who might be responsible for both stabbings, was arrested and booked into Ramsey County’s Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of second-degree assault.

I was at Rosedale a few hours before this happening, buying some shoes. Yikes.

This incident shows once and for all that suburban white teenagers are just as thuggish as the Block E gangstas.

Skug- There is no indication of the race of the suspects or victims. Identities have not been released since they are juveniles. Why assume?
