At roughly 4:20 a.m., a light-colored SUV drove by and fired multiple shots at the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One bullet went through the windshield of their military vehicle, which contained four soldiers. Two of those troops were lightly injured by the shattered glass \u2014 one was sent to a local hospital and the other was treated at the scene for \u201csuperficial wounds,\u201d according to the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minnesota Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Scott Hawks told Army Times that both troops were only lightly injured and they have already returned to duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cartridges collected from the shooting were matched to cartridges found inside Thomas\u2019 Ford Explorer after police obtained a warrant and searched it. Police found a Springfield Armory XD-9 9mm pistol, a .22 caliber revolver with an obliterated serial number, ammunition and two discharged cartridge casings, the complaint stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"479\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Capture.JPG_3a6e95.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Capture.JPG_3a6e95.jpg 790w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Capture.JPG_3a6e95.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Capture.JPG_3a6e95.jpg?resize=768,466 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos from Sunday\u2019s drive-by shooting released by Minnesota National Guard. (National Guard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ATF consulted with local police on the ballistics analysis and helped match the 9mm pistol to the one used in the shooting earlier that day. Thomas had a 2017 conviction for 3rd Degree Assault in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition, the complaint added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas was scheduled to make an initial appearance Tuesday before Magistrate Judge Katherine M. Menendez in U.S. District Court, the Justice Department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly 3,000 Guard personnel have been providing security alongside local police in the Minneapolis area as the country awaits a verdict following the Derek Chauvin trial in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/06\/03\/mattis-slams-trump-over-handling-of-george-floyd-unrest\/\" target=_blank>George Floyd\u2019s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tensions were already high in the area before an April 11 shooting in which a police officer killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center. The city\u2019s police chief said the officer, Kim Potter, accidentally grabbed her handgun instead of her taser. Potter was later charged with second-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military presence in the Minneapolis area has not always been well-received by the local communities, the Minnesota Star Tribute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/man-charged-after-drive-by-shooting-at-national-guard-soldiers-in-minneapolis\/600048084\/\" target=_blank>reported<\/a>. A popular chant last week in Brooklyn Center included demands for the soldiers to \u201cGo home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minnesota Guard has been working to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MinnesotaOSN\/status\/1383550851172634626\" target=_blank>emphasize on their social media channels<\/a> that their personnel \u201care civilians 28 days of the month, just like\u201d the demonstrators, and are often-times members of the Minneapolis community, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am relieved to know none of our guardsmen were seriously injured,\u201d said Adjutant General of the Minnesota Guard Maj. Gen. Shawn Manke following the shooting. \u201cThis event highlights the volatility and tension in our communities right now. I ask for peace as we work through this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both troops were only lightly injured and they have already returned to duty, a
