New court documents show what happened right after Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Witnesses say they were arrested and held by agents immediately after the shooting. People are now too scared to talk about what they saw because they fear federal agents will come after them.
According to CBS News, Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis VA hospital. He was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent on Saturday morning near 26th and Nicollet on the south side of Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security says the agent shot in self-defense because Pretti tried to take his weapon. But Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz watched video of the shooting and said that explanation is “nonsense.”
