Man Gets 6 Years For Shooting 2 In Minneapolis Bar

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - A man convicted of shooting two people in a Minneapolis gay bar was sentenced Wednesday to six years behind bars.

Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries on Oct. 15 after Devin Michael Strouss shot bullets through the double steel door of the 19 Bar, just off Nicollet Avenue on 15th Street.

Witnesses said they saw that Strouss was refused service that night, because he was drunk. The bullets flew in after he'd been forced outside by the bar's bouncers.

Strouss was sentenced to two consecutive three-year assault sentences in the shooting. He also received 45 month for a stabbing charge -- to be served concurrently with the other sentences.
