Doctor who attended to shot protester says agents were counting bullet holes rather than administering CPR

A doctor who said they tried to attend to protester Alex Pretti after he was shot in Minneapolis has said that federal agents were not attempting to give the 37-year-old medical assistance and were instead counting the bullet holes in his body.

“As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot,” the unnamed doctor wrote in a declaration added to a lawsuit challenging ICE’s use of force in Minnesota.
