Really this is news to me !

"It was all gang activity, totally, 100 percent," said Shukri Adan, a former Somali community organizer who estimated in a 2007 report for the city that between 400 and 500 young Somalis were active in gangs. "The police don't want to say that but everybody else knows that."

Different nationalities tend to settle in different areas. For example, a lot of the Hmong (Vietnamese) people who came to the US after the Vietnam war settled in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ethiopian people tend to congregate around DC.
