Fatal shooting of Alex Pretti comes less than three weeks after Renee Nicole Good was killed by immigration agents in city
US federal law enforcement officers on Saturday fatally shot an American citizen in Minneapolis, the second such killing in less than three weeks.
The killing of US citizen Alex Pretti, 37, comes after Renee Good, also a 37-year-old American citizen, was shot dead on 7 January by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, with video showing her trying to drive away from a confrontation, sparking protests nationwide.
City and local police officials said the shooting of Pretti occurred in the area of West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. It asked “the public to remain calm”.
Pretti was a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which serves veterans.
Video seems to show an agent pulling the gun from the back of his waist. It could have been tucked in his belt but most people with a concealed carry license use an actual holster. An IWB (inside waist band) holster is my educated guess. Some holsters have space for an extra magazine or he could have had one tucked away in any pocket.
You are right, here is a slowed down video of the agent grabbing the gun, notice that the second it was taken the second agent decides to shoot. Grey jacket guy looks extremely suspicious running like he did.
