"Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground,"
"My view of the altercation was partially obstructed, but after a few seconds, I saw at least four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man at least six or seven times."
"Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man,"
"especially since none of the agents were helping him."
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. A 29-year-old physician who witnessed the incident reported that Pretti was yelling but did not attack or brandish any weapon before being shoved to the ground. The physician observed at least four agents point guns and then shoot Pretti six or seven times. Agents initially demanded to see the physician's license before permitting aid, and none of the agents near Pretti performed CPR while he lay in critical condition. Government accounts claim Pretti threatened agents and reached for a gun, which contrasts with the witness observations.
