US EditionBovino says agents in latest fatal Minneapolis shooting ‘likely’ assigned to administrative duties
Pretti was the second Minneapolis resident killed by immigration agents recently, with officials disputing whether he was armed during the operation, according to media analysis.
- On Saturday morning, CBP agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, 37, a U.S. citizen, while patrolling Minneapolis during the Trump administration immigration crackdown.
- Border Patrol official Bovino and the Department of Homeland Security said Pretti injected himself into an operation and approached agents with a 9 mm handgun, prompting the shooting.
- Video footage shows Pretti filming with his phone and approaching a woman, while New York Times analysis found agents identified his gun about eight seconds after wrestling him down.
- Pretti's family said the administration's descriptions are `reprehensible and disgusting`, that videos show he was unarmed, and they struggled to get information after learning of the shooting from an Associated Press reporter on Saturday.
- Family accounts show Pretti had protested after the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good and was warned by his Colorado parents weeks ago; neighbors recalled him as kind, living in a four-unit condo about 2 miles from the shooting.
