"The FBI formally notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti,"
"While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence. Our agency has committed to the FBI and Department of Justice that should its stance change we remain willing to share information that we have obtained with that agency and would welcome a joint investigation. We will continue to pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence."
The FBI notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not share any information or evidence it collected regarding the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti. Federal law enforcement will provide no assistance or crime-scene access to state investigators. BCA Superintendent Drew Evans stated the agency will conduct a thorough, independent and transparent investigation despite lacking federal cooperation. The BCA remains willing to share information if federal officials change their stance and will pursue legal avenues to obtain relevant evidence. Public reaction and media coverage reportedly unsettled President Donald Trump and coincided with declines in his approval ratings.
