   Andrew Thomas   
      
   The man accused of shooting at National Guard soldiers who'd been stationed on   
   a Minneapolis street has been sentenced to eight years in prison after   
   pleading guilty to three of the seven counts filed against him.   
      
   Andrew Thomas, 28, was accused of shooting at the two National Guard soldiers   
   near Penn Avenue North and West Broadway Avenue on April 18, 2021. The   
   soldiers were on patrol as part of Operation Safety Net, the joint law   
   enforcement effort launched for    
   Derek Chauvin's murder trial.   
      
   Charges against Thomas say he fired "multiple" shots at two Minneapolis squad   
   cars and three National Guard vehicles early that morning, then sped off. Two   
   soldiers were injured by shattering glass, including to the eye and face, the   
   complaint said.   
      
   Thomas, on July 26, agreed to plead guilty to three felony counts, according   
   to court records: Second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of   
   a firearm despite a previous conviction and drive-by shooting.   
      
   The remaining charges against him were dismissed.   
      
   Two of the counts were ordered to be served consecutively, meaning Thomas will   
   serve 96 months, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office said.   
      
   Thomas, in connection with the same incident, was also charged with being a   
   felon in possession of a firearm by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
