The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

    No sure if it’s the same thing but the gray jacket guy (not the one marked with an arrow, the one on his right) has a knife/baton on his belt. At one point he pulls on Alex’s arm and the knife/baton falls to the ground behind him. There are other objects on the ground looking like gas cans. I don’t see a gun falling to the ground.

    I think the guy marked with an arrow fires the first shot. He clearly draws his gun quickly and points/presses it against Alex’s back right before you can hear the first shot. The way Alex gets up and turns looks consistent. The I don’t see anyone else holding a gun.

    I have no idea who fires the next 3 shots. Logically it should be the same guy but you can see him taking couple of steps back holding his gun down. He then gets a proper grip on his gun and fires 5 more shots. The guy next to him fires one shot before that.

    So looking at the position of all agents I would say guy with an arrow fires shots 1-4 and 6-10 but all the shots sound different (can be simply some audio encoding/phone microphones issue). From the video it really doesn’t look like he fires shots 2-4 but I can’t see anyone else in a position to shoot.

      100% concur. If you watch the other video with the grey jacket guy, he’s walking off with Alex’s gun before the first shot is fired. This 100% proves it wasn’t a self defense shooting and that it was a murder, and that there’s actually 3 murderers if my eyes are right.

      I have no idea who fires the next 3 shots

      Me neither, it’s really hard to tell, but I’ve absolutely come to the conclusion that orange arrow guy wasn’t the only one. From other angles (where point of view is behind orange arrow guy) there appear to be two murderers to his left as well. I won’t 100% say for certain but it appears that two OTHER firearms discharged from the videos. This is really important in de-bunking any “self defense” claims.
