Minnesota officials at odds with DHS over account of man killed by federal agent as new videos emerge

• Deadly shooting: Video appears to show a federal officer had taken a gun away from a Minneapolis man prior to a Border Patrol agent fatally shooting him today. The man has been identified as Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old who sources say worked as an ICU nurse. Police said he’s believed to have been a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.

• Clashing narratives: The Department of Homeland Security has said the agent killed Pretti in self-defense — a narrative Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called “nonsense” and “lies.” Minnesota authorities also sued the Trump administration, claiming its officials “took from the scene” of the shooting and prevented state officials from inspecting.
