Three suspects were in jail Sunday following a shooting in Lakeville that injured four other people.

The four victims were transported to Hennepin County Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries, according to Lakeville police. The shooting occurred at 12:20 a.m. Sunday at 313 Caesar Drive in the Ardmore Mobile Home Park.

One of the suspects was asked to leave a party at the home, authorities said. As he was leaving, he turned and fired shots into the side of the mobile home. The suspected shooter and two others were stopped in a vehicle as they fled and were arrested. A handgun believed to be the one used in the shooting was recovered a short distance from where the suspects were arrested.

"This shooting could have easily resulted in fatal injuries to anyone in the residence," said Lakeville Police Chief Tom Vonhof. "We are very pleased to have these suspects in custody."
