When federal agents shot Alex Pretti, one neighbor \u2014 a 29-year-old doctor \u2014 rushed in to help. What unfolded on the ground left that doctor with haunting questions.The physician, who has not been publicly identified, is a licensed pediatrician living near the scene. Their eyewitness account, now part of federal court filings, offers the most detailed civilian perspective on what happened after the shooting.In a sworn statement, the doctor said they saw the victim lying on his side, surrounded by several ICE agents.”As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several ICE agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot,” the statement read.”Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds,” the physician stated. “I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know.”The shooting occurred around 9 a.m. The doctor said they were woken by “cars honking and whistles blowing” and observed the incident from an apartment window, though the view was partially blocked.
