The revelation by the witness comes amid continuous updates on the devastating shooting, including expert conversations dissecting the rules of law enforcement conduct.A chilling eyewitness account has emerged that could shatter the official version of events surrounding the shocking fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who was gunned down by a federal agent in the middle of a Minneapolis protest.he anonymous witness, whose statement was recently filed in a lawsuit against the Trump administration, has come forward with harrowing claims that directly contradict the government’s narrative, and what they revealed is deeply disturbing.
According to what the unnamed eyewitness cited in the filing, Pretti was attempting to assist a woman who had been pepper-sprayed when he was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent. The witness firmly stated, “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and [sic] it is wrong,” asserting that Pretti neither resisted nor reached for a gun.Instead, they claimed, “The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and [sic] they took him to the ground.”Governor Walz Blasts DHS Narrative as ‘Nonsense’ After Reviewing FootageThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously claimed that Pretti, whom they described as an armed man, was shot after violently resisting. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino alleged Pretti was attempting to “massacre law enforcement.”However, this account is being contested both by eyewitnesses and by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who called the DHS version “nonsense” after reviewing footage of the incident.
