Fatal shooting of Alex Pretti comes less than three weeks after Renee Nicole Good was killed by immigration agents in city

US federal law enforcement officers on Saturday fatally shot an American citizen in Minneapolis, the second such killing in less than three weeks.

The killing of US citizen Alex Pretti, 37, comes after Renee Good, also a 37-year-old American citizen, was shot dead on 7 January by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, with video showing her trying to drive away from a confrontation, sparking protests nationwide.

City and local police officials said the shooting of Pretti occurred in the area of West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. It asked “the public to remain calm”.

Pretti was a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which serves veterans.

    I’m no expert and I honestly would like to know, where is he concealing a 9mm with an extra magazine?

      It doesn’t matter. It was his right to carry. He had a concealed carry permit. If he had a weapon, it was never in his hand. The Gestapo attacked and executed him for placing his body between them and a woman they were attempting to assault.

      Video seems to show an agent pulling the gun from the back of his waist. It could have been tucked in his belt but most people with a concealed carry license use an actual holster. An IWB (inside waist band) holster is my educated guess. Some holsters have space for an extra magazine or he could have had one tucked away in any pocket.

        You are right, here is a slowed down video of the agent grabbing the gun, notice that the second it was taken the second agent decides to shoot. Grey jacket guy looks extremely suspicious running like he did.

      ICE is there to terrorize

      You could’ve stopped after this. They are the gestapo.

        I believe this is the ‘tyranny’ that the right-wingers are always talking about, and they are defending it now.

          Right-wingers do not have principles. They have tribes, and nothing else. If my team did something, it’s good; if their team did something, it’s bad.

    I want to see them at the Nuremberg trial. I have no words to describe how much I despise these people.

    ICE agents will “help” Italian police at the Olympics in February. I’ll be there hopefully spitting on each one of them

    “Believed to be”

    Oh no. He was absolutely a white US-born full citizen.

    Time to take up arms folks. It has been for a while, but now they’re coming for the rest of us, not just the “immigrants”
