   A man possibly connected to a shooting that injured two National Guard   
   soldiers in north Minneapolis early Sunday morning is facing federal charges   
   in U.S. District Court.   
      
   The Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office announced Monday that 28-year-old Andrew   
   Thomas, of Minneapolis, has been charged with being a felon in possession of   
   firearm.   
      
   The release from the Attorney's Office does not accuse Thomas of shooting at   
   the National Guard soldiers, only saying that he and a boy were arrested   
   Sunday evening in an SUV that matched the description of the one sought in   
   connection with the shooting.   
      
   At 4:19 a.m. Sunday, shots were fired from a light-colored SUV at the corner   
   of Penn and West Broadway avenues, according to police. One bullet went   
   through the windshield of the military vehicle that was carrying four soldiers.   
      
   One soldier was taken to a hospital to treat injuries from shattered glass,   
   and another was treated at the scene for superficial wounds.   
      
   Thomas and the boy were arrested in south Minneapolis late Sunday evening,   
   near 6th Street South and Cedar Avenue South. Police made the felony stop   
   after locating a 2002 Ford Explorer that matched the description of the   
   vehicle involved in the drive-by    
   shooting earlier in the day.   
      
   Officers found a semi-automatic pistol and a .22 caliber revolver in the   
   vehicle, along with ammunition and two discharged cartridge casings.   
      
   Thomas will appear before a federal judge on Tuesday.   
      
   "I am relieved to know none of our Guardsmen were seriously injured," said   
   Maj. Gen. Shawn Manke, Minnesota National Guard Adjutant General, in a Sunday   
   statement. "This event highlights the volatility and tension in our   
   communities right now. I ask for    
   peace as we work through this difficult time."   
      
   Members of the Guard are in the Twin Cities as part Minnesota Operation Safety   
   Net's response to civil unrest related to the police shooting death of Daunte   
   Wright in Brooklyn Center, and the Derek Chauvin murder trial, which is now in   
   the hands of the    
   jury.
