Man Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun
Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to “massacre” law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account.
The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse described by the Minneapolis police chief as a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Federal officials said he was armed, but there is no sign in videos analyzed by The New York Times that he pulled his weapon, or that agents even knew he had one until he was already pinned on the sidewalk.
An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara.
In broad daylight a gang of heavily armed, masked men shot and killed an ICU nurse, Alex Pretti, who was trying to shield a woman from being pepper sprayed.
Officials from the regime said the nurse intended to attack federal agents, and that he was intent on a “massacre.” They presented no evidence.
As was the case with the murder of Renee Good, regime officials attempted to prevent state authorities from investigating.
According to Asst. AG Todd Blanche, no federal agencies are investigating Good's murder.
