CBS News: Federal agents fatally shoot another Minneapolis resident
CBS News reports that federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis yesterday. The killing was less than three weeks after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good.
"Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was identified as the man killed by a Border Patrol agent. The Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said that account was `nonsense' after reviewing videos of the shooting. . . . Videos from the scene show that Pretti was holding a cellphone, not a gun, when he was shot. An agent can be seen emerging from the scuffle with a gun and turning away from the man when the first shot is fired."
