"As has been widely reported, Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse who worked at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was killed Saturday morning by federal agents who reportedly shot him 10 times after they'd already wrestled him to the ground and disarmed him. Pretti's death - the second at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis this month - and the Trump administration's lies about the circumstances that led to it have sparked outrage and protest, both in Minnesota and around the country."
"She described a tense atmosphere as some 75 to 100 members of the community poured onto the street and began to clash with federal agents. Shortal explained that she remained behind crime scene tape and that her press credentials were clearly visible - as can be seen in a video she later posted to Instagram. At some point, she said, "a couple of border patrol agents decided to move the [crime scene tape]"."
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA, was killed when federal agents reportedly shot him ten times after wrestling and disarming him. His death, the second involving federal agents in Minneapolis this month, and the Trump administration's false accounts of the incident sparked widespread outrage and protests. Community members poured into the street, and about 75 to 100 people clashed with federal agents. Emmy-winning reporter Jana Shortal, clearly identified as press and standing behind crime scene tape, says border patrol agents moved the tape, shoved her twice, and that a chemical irritant went almost directly into her left eye.
