A Border Patrol agent shot a 37-year-old American citizen dead in Minneapolis in a killing caught on camera.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Daily Mail that the victim was armed with two magazines, and that the gun has since been recovered by federal authorities.
The shooting occurred during what appeared to be a struggle involving multiple agents just after 9am Saturday morning near Glam Doll Donuts at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.
Video shows agents wrestling the man to the ground before one federal agent fires multiple shots into his chest, after which the agents scatter.
This marks the third shooting in recent weeks involving federal agents in Minneapolis - coming after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good on January 7 and another federal agent wounded a man about a week later.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the person shot is believed to be a 37-year-old white US citizen who lived in the city. The Minnesota Star Tribune identified him as Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
During the news conference, O'Hara said the man's only contact with police, to their knowledge, was related to parking tickets.
The chief said officials have identified the man - who is believed to have had a gun permit - though his name has not yet been released. Minnesota law allows permit holders to openly carry handguns in public without concealing them.
DHS shared a photo of the firearm which was seen lying on the passenger seat of a car.
Minneapolis city officials have since addressed the emerging news on X, stating they 'are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area.'
'We are working to confirm additional details,' the department's post read. 'We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.'

But two magazines on his person....tells me he's the bad guy. The gun was in the car?? Were there two guns??
Pull a gun on police officers and bad things are going to happen to you.
He had no I.D., that violates the possession of a permit.
Back about 60 years or so, everyone was watching Westerns on TV. The lesson was clear: if the bad guy starts to draw his gun, all bets are off. The good guy has to act quicker and shoot the bad guy as fast as possible. Everybody knew that was how it worked.
But I guess the woke crowd didn’t grow up watching educational TV.
Why are these people protesting? Do they even know?? Who are the agitators...besides Walz.
Why does 2 mags on his person = bad guy
That’s true.

Obviously.
They’re most likely paid by Soros.
No manual safety, threaded barrel, etc
No P226 in Sig catalog matches that and I can't read the details next to the S/N in the photo.
RE: Loaded plus two extra magazines....
June 2, 2022, Biden to the nation: America is now a killing field....no one needs so many magazines.
Why does 2 mags on his person = bad guy
$20 sez he’s not a resident of Minnesota.
Blasts? So he was shot multiple times with a weapon that has a "blast" radius? Or was the writer trying to select words that urge the reader to be biased before they even start reading. I think "shoots" is more appropriate, and I'm not sure it should be plural. Also, it's kinda dumb to bring a pistol to a "peaceful" protest and to fight with law enforcement when you do. A classic case of FAFO.
And we need additional video BEFORE what we just saw.
Remember Trump...he told them to go home.
