Saturday morning just weeks following the shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen, who was shot and killed on January 7th by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, another man was been shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.  The man has been identified as 37 year old Alex Jeffrey Pretti an ICU nurse at a VA hospital.  Tragically much like Renee Good, Alex Pretti being shot and killed was captured on multiple videos.

According to The Department of Homeland Security said the man was shot after he “approached” Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun. Alex Pretti owned a handgun and had a permit to carry a concealed handgun in Minnesota.  Several videos and according to eyewitnesses Alex Pretti was disarmed before being shot.

According to Alex Pretti’s family he was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois, with court records showing he had no criminal record and had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a handful of traffic tickets.
