Nicholas Henry, 28, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday for attempting to kill an FBI agent and discharging a firearm during a violent crime, the Kansas U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.

The shooting occurred on Nov. 1, 2009, after FBI agents found Henry in a stolen pickup truck in a parking lot near Olathe, Kan.

When an FBI Task Force Officer tried to arrest him, Henry produced a .40 caliber handgun and fired two shots at one of the agents. He missed despite being only about 10 feet away.

Other agents then returned fire and hit Henry 14 times. He survived the shooting.

Henry admitted firing the weapon in his plea.
