The National Rifle Association, the country’s biggest gun lobby, appears to have pushed back on President Donald Trump’s recent assertion that Alex Pretti “shouldn't have been carrying a gun.”
Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot and killed Saturday by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Federal officials initially accused Pretti of “brandishing” his gun at agents. However, a new preliminary review by a Department of Homeland Security internal watchdog made no mention of Pretti brandishing a weapon.
