   The Brief   
   The attack happened at St. Anne’s Place in north Minneapolis shortly after 8   
   p.m. on Sept. 5.   
   Eureka Riser, 33, of Minneapolis, faces riot and property damage charges.   
   Minneapolis police said additional arrests are possible.   
   MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A violent attack on a women's and children’s homeless   
   shelter in north Minneapolis ended with three people injured and a woman in   
   jail facing felony charges.   
      
   What we know   
   The chaotic scene unfolded at St. Anne’s Place shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept.   
   5. Surveillance video shows a woman approach the front door and start bashing   
   it in with a baseball bat. Another camera caught that same woman repeatedly   
   hitting the side door    
   while four others stood nearby.   
      
   Eureka Riser, 33, of Minneapolis, faces riot and property damage charges.   
   Police also announced on Friday night the arrest of a 35-year-old man for his   
   involvement.   
      
   Other people seen with her on surveillance video have not been identified.   
      
   "One of my staff who was injured who was holding an infant when one of the   
   assailants then bashed the windows with this bat," said Hoang Murphy, CEO of   
   People Serving People, the agency that oversees St. Anne’s.   
      
   He said a dispute over a parking spot led to the incident, which injured two   
   guests and an employee.   
      
   Another person also pointed a gun at the shelter, prosecutors have said.   
      
   Murphy said Riser’s arrest, which happened a week after the attack, should   
   have come sooner.   
      
   "I don’t understand why those arrests couldn’t happen in that moment," he   
   said. "We’re the ones who called 911 and they [police] spoke to them first   
   and then they even apologized to them for the broken glass on the sidewalk."   
      
   He said the shelter, which is temporarily closed due to safety concerns, is   
   considering installing bullet-resistant glass as well as other security   
   upgrades.   
      
   In a statement on Friday, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said: "This   
   violent attack on some of our most vulnerable community members, unhoused   
   women and children, in a place where they had gone to seek shelter and safety   
   cannot be tolerated."   
      
   What's next?   
   Minneapolis police said additional arrests are possible.
