As the mist clears a bit..the first reports are that 2 agents discharged their weapons after an agent shouted, 'Gun!' several times.
At no time is it alleged that Pretti drew his weapon, at no time is it alleged the Pretti even tried to draw his weapon.
In fact, video footage shows an agent taking Pretti's gun BEFORE he was shot.

Here's a second-by-second breakdown of another video, seen below, that was posted to social media by Drop Site News. All times approximate.

0:33 Pretti can be seen apparently leading the woman away.
0:35 The agent shoves the second woman, who falls to the ground.
0:36 Pretti steps between the agent and the second woman on the ground. He is sprayed with what appears to be a chemical irritant and is shoved by the first agent as other agents approach.
0:40 The agent continues to spray Pretti with irritant.
0:47 Pretti and the woman on the ground are separated by the agents and Pretti is held to the ground.
0:59 There are at least six agents present as Pretti is held down on his hands and knees. One appears to strike at him repeatedly with an object in the direction of his head.
1:00 Someone can be heard yelling that he has a gun.
1:01 One agent can be seen drawing his gun.
1:02 A shot rings out. Then three more in quick succession. Then another.
1:06 The agents back away and unload additional shots at Pretti as he lies on the ground.
