Minneapolis Immigration Agent Shootings

New Actor: DHS Report Confirms Agents Fired in Pretti

Two federal agents fired during the struggle that killed Alex Pretti. One was a Border Patrol agent with a Glock 19 and the other a Customs and Border Protection officer with a Glock 47. This replaces earlier claims that only one agent fired.

The encounter began when agents confronted two women blowing whistles in the street and ordered them to move. An officer pepper‑sprayed Pretti and one woman when they did not move, and agents then tried to arrest him. During the struggle a Border Patrol agent shouted “He’s got a gun!” multiple times, and about five seconds later the two agents fired.

The new account does not say Pretti reached for his firearm. After the shooting a Border Patrol agent said he had Pretti’s gun, cleared it and stored it in a government vehicle. The document does not say whether the weapon was photographed in place or logged with a chain of custody, and it does not make clear whether both officers’ bullets struck Pretti.
