Federal agents shot Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti nine times during an operation, and the Department of Homeland Security described the shootings as self-defense. Video showed Pretti approach ICE with a phone in hand, not a gun, and showed agents remove a concealed handgun from his person while tackling him to the ground. Pretti's family said he held a lawful Minnesota concealed-carry permit. U.S. attorney Bill Essayli posted on X that approaching law enforcement with a gun creates a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting. Gun Owners of America called for a transparent DOJ investigation, defended Pretti's licensed concealed carry, and condemned Essayli's comments while citing Second Amendment rights.
