In one video, an ICE agent can be seen walking across the street to confront Pretti. Pretti can be viewed holding a phone to record the interaction. After a few moments, ICE agents surround Pretti, spraying him with pepper spray, and then multiple agents pin him to the ground. Another camera shows an ICE agent disarming Pretti and taking away his gun, which he possessed lawfully, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/rules-data-minnesota-permit-to-carry-holders\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBS News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Then, an ICE agent took multiple steps backwards and fired ten shots at Pretti.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey shot him so many times,\u201d a witness stated in a court declaration. \u201cI don\u2019t know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Pretti lay wounded and motionless on the ground, videos and bystander accounts claim no first aid was provided, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/studentshu-my.sharepoint.com\/personal\/lotitoju_shu_edu\/Documents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Bystander comments also alleged ICE agents were seen counting bullet holes instead of administrating aide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNone of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, and I could tell the victim was in critical condition,\u201d a pediatrician, who witnessed the killing, wrote in a court declaration, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/01\/25\/us\/alex-pretti-shooting-minneapolis-videos-witnesses-invs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cI insisted that the agents let me assess him\u2026 I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After initial objections, the ICE agents allowed the bystander to administer CPR, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2026\/01\/25\/us\/pretti-witness-statement-from-doctor.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The bystander checked for a pulse, but they could not find one. They administered CPR until emergency service personnel arrived at the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Official statements by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Donald Trump Administration contradict bystander comments and video footage released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis individual impeded the law enforcement officers and attacked them,\u201d Krisit Noem, the U.S. Secretary of DHS, said, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/01\/25\/politics\/trump-officials-shifting-rhetoric-alex-pretti\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Noem also repeated the phrase \u201cattacked them\u201d after this statement, in an apparent attempt to add emphasis to her claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou do not get to attack law enforcement officials in this country without any repercussions,\u201d Kash Patel, the Director of the FBI, told Fox News. Video footage provided to the public does not show Pretti attacking law enforcement officials, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/video\/2026\/jan\/26\/second-federal-killing-in-minneapolis-how-the-shooting-of-alex-pretti-unfolded-video-report\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cA would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the Democrat account sides with the terrorists,\u201d Stephen Miller, a DHS advisor, wrote on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jan\/26\/trump-administration-alex-pretti-shooting-statements\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in response to the Democrat\u2019s X account asking for ICE to Withdraw from Minnesota. Underneath Miller\u2019s post, a reader note, designed to give X users fact-checked information, writes, \u201cVideos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim\u2019s holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Border Patrol Commander, Gregory Bovino, told reporters Pretti approached agents with a loaded handgun, attempting to \u201cmassacre law enforcement\u201d and had \u201cviolently resisted,\u201d per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jan\/26\/trump-administration-alex-pretti-shooting-statements\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
