An Iowa man was sentenced on Monday after pleading guilty to charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon and willful injury. Specifically, shooting his gun into a car full of teenage Black girls, injuring one, after an Iowa rally in support of Donald Trump in December, the Associated Press reported. Identified as Michael McKinney, the 26-year-old pleaded guilty in June and has been in custody since his arrest at the scene. Under Iowa law, there is no minimum sentence. The judge in this case has ordered that both sentences be served concurrently; both charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years.
