New scrutiny is emerging in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis on January 24\u2014less than a month after Renee Nicole Good\u2019s death in the same city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pretti, known for his work with U.S. veterans, was pepper-sprayed, restrained, and shot multiple times during the confrontation. Federal authorities initially claimed he had \u201cviolently resisted\u201d officers and was carrying a 9mm handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, video footage and eyewitness accounts paint a very different picture. Pretti had a legal permit to carry the firearm, which was holstered when agents first engaged him. Multiple angles now show his gun being removed by an ICE officer before<\/strong> the shooting began. At the time, Pretti was holding only a cellphone and attempting to protect two women nearby, directly contradicting claims that he posed an active threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. JP Garrison, a clinical and forensic psychologist, has highlighted a \u201cstrange\u201d detail many may have missed in the videos. He focused on an officer in a gray jacket who removed Pretti\u2019s firearm, then immediately \u201cturned around and ran in the other direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking on his YouTube channel, Dr. Garrison explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue reading on next page…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The revelation has added to public outrage over the shooting, with questions about use-of-force protocols and accountability intensifying. President Donald Trump addressed the incident, stating his administration is \u201creviewing everything\u201d and emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation. Trump also sent Tom Homan to Minnesota to lead a \u201cmajor investigation,\u201d calling him \u201ctough but fair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pretti case continues to raise serious concerns about enforcement tactics, transparency, and civilian safety, especially in Minneapolis, where tensions around federal operations remain high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the footage, review the details, and share your thoughts\u2014how should authorities respond in cases like Alex Pretti\u2019s?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New scrutiny is emerging in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by ICE agents in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7955,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7953\/revisions\/7955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
“What\u2019s odd is that the officer didn\u2019t announce that Pretti had been disarmed. Turning your back in a situation where someone is believed to be armed would be extremely dangerous. The fact that he ran without notifying others that the threat was neutralized strikes me as peculiar.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
