A man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting at a Minnesota state trooper in September 2024.
Eddie James Freeman, 24, pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault in October. Two remaining counts of second-degree assault and one count of fourth-degree assault were dismissed at sentencing.
He will serve three years of probation after his prison sentence.
Freeman and a Minnesota state trooper exchanged gunfire on Interstate 94 on Sept. 21, 2024. Troopers had responded to a crash on the interstate near Dowling Avenue North and learned that shots had been fired while en route to the scene.

As a trooper approached the car, Freeman shot at him and hit the squad, and the trooper returned fire. Nobody was injured.
The driver of the vehicle said Freeman was in the passenger seat and had grabbed the steering wheel and caused the car to crash after she broke up with him. She said Freeman then got out of the vehicle and she heard gunshots.
Two good Samaritans who had pulled over to help told investigators that they saw Freeman pointing a gun at them. They then heard gunshots and left.
