Latest details after Border Patrol kills Alex Pretti in Minneapolis

A Video Footage Fuels Confusion Over Fatal Shooting of ICU Nurse in Minneapolis

Eyewitnesses captured the harrowing moments when a Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti, an 18-year veteran nurse working at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospital in Minneapolis. However, discrepancies abound between what happened as per multiple accounts from local, state and federal authorities.

According to official videos of the incident, which surfaced on social media platforms shortly after the shooting, it appears that Pretti was shot while handcuffed. This footage suggests that Pretti may have been unarmed or disarmed at some point prior to being shot.

But the story isn't as straightforward as it seems. Officials claim that Pretti had "engaged in a struggle" with Border Patrol agents before being fatally shot, despite there being no apparent evidence of such an altercation on the video footage obtained by bystanders.

Law enforcement officials have described Pretti as "agitated and hostile" towards agents at one point during the confrontation, but this account has been disputed by witnesses who claim that Pretti appeared to be under duress. Furthermore, it is unclear what exactly happened in the moments leading up to the shooting.

The discrepancy between official accounts and eyewitness testimony highlights a lack of transparency from law enforcement, raising serious concerns about accountability and justice for victims of excessive use of force.
 
This whole thing is giving me major whiplash - I mean, one minute we're watching this video footage that shows Pretti being shot while handcuffed, and the next we're hearing that he was "engaged in a struggle" with Border Patrol agents? It's like they're speaking different languages. And can we talk about how these law enforcement officials are trying to spin this narrative without any concrete evidence to back it up? I'm all for transparency, especially when it comes to cases like this where people's lives are lost. We need some serious answers here πŸ˜•.
 
this is soooo messed up πŸ˜”... I mean, can you imagine being in someone's shoes (literally) and then BAM! You get shot while handcuffed? it's like, what even happened before that?! 🀯 the more I think about it, the more my heart aches for Alex Pretti. 18 years of experience, working with people who need help the most... to be treated like this is just horrific πŸ’” and the fact that there are all these discrepancies... it's like they're hiding something. law enforcement needs to get their act together and be honest about what really went down πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
I'm so sick of all these conflicting stories πŸ™„πŸ˜‘. I mean, come on, can't they just give us the truth? The video footage is clear - Alex Pretti was shot while handcuffed, no doubt about it πŸ”’πŸ’”. And what's with the "struggle" narrative? There's nothing there, folks! It's like they're trying to cover something up 🚫.

And don't even get me started on how they're painting Alex as some kind of wild animal 😱. I've seen the footage, and she was clearly scared and under stress. The fact that law enforcement is twisting her behavior into this narrative is just disgusting πŸ’”.

We need more transparency here, not less πŸ”. It's time for them to come clean about what really happened that day. No more hiding behind vague "official accounts" πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. We deserve the truth!
 
omg this is crazy what's going on i dont get why they're saying pretti was hostile lol didnt he look scared in the video? and what was he even doing with those cuffs on anyway?? i feel bad for his family too, it's just so sad... did they find out who shot him or anything? and btw, have you seen that new video game that came out last week its soooo good πŸ€”
 
OMG u guys this is so messed up 🀯! I cant even believe whats going on with that nurse Alex Pretti she was like 18 yrs old & had the most experience 😩. And now theres all these conflicting stories coming out from diff ppl & its just frustrating cuz we dont no what really happened πŸ€”. I mean i saw those vids too & it looks like she didnt have a gun on her or anything 🚫. But law enforcement is saying shes hostile & struggling with agents? That sounds super suspicious to me πŸ˜’. And what about the lack of transparency from them? We need answers & we need them now πŸ’”! This is just another example of how messed up our justice system can be πŸ‘Ž.
 
I'm so frustrated with these forums 🀯. Can't we just have a straightforward discussion without all the drama? This news about the ICU nurse being shot by a Border Patrol agent is already tough to follow, but now I'm seeing all sorts of conflicting accounts... it's like, can we please just stick to one story for once?! 😩 The fact that officials are denying the eyewitness testimony and saying Pretti was "agitated" just seems so convenient. And what's up with the video footage being obtained by bystanders? Shouldn't we be trusting the authorities' own videos instead of the ones on social media? Ugh, my head is spinning 🀯. Can we please just focus on having a rational conversation about this?! πŸ’‘
 
I'm really worried about this situation πŸ€•... but at the same time, I want to acknowledge that there are people who are genuinely trying to get to the bottom of what happened here πŸ’‘ Alex Pretti was an amazing nurse who dedicated his life to helping others, and it's heartbreaking to think about how he lost his life under these circumstances πŸ˜”.

The fact that eyewitnesses captured some disturbing footage is like a beacon of hope in this situation - at least we know something went wrong, and hopefully, it'll lead to some accountability 🎯. And I'm not giving up on law enforcement agencies yet! They might be doing their best with the resources they have, but it's clear that they can do better πŸ’ͺ.

Let's keep pushing for transparency and justice for Alex and his loved ones ❀️... this is a tough one to watch, but together, we can make sure something like this never happens again 🌟.
 
this is wild how can one person end up in a situation where they're being shot while handcuffed? like what even happened before that video footage was taken? 🀯 the fact that there are so many different accounts and no clear answers just makes me wanna know more... or maybe its just my curiosity getting the best of me.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 🀯... I mean, I get it, we need border control, but an 18-year veteran nurse getting shot by a Border Patrol agent while handcuffed is just wild 😱. And the thing that gets me is how different everyone's story is. Like, did Pretti actually struggle with the agents or was he literally cornered and helpless? πŸ€” It's like we're missing some crucial piece of evidence somewhere.

And can we talk about the lack of transparency for a sec? πŸ’¬ I get that officials might have their own versions of what went down, but shouldn't they at least try to corroborate each other or provide more info? This just feels like a whole lot of 'us-say-so' without any real proof πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. It's like we're setting a bad precedent for accountability and justice when it comes to these kinds of incidents.

I'm curious to know, what do you guys think happened in those final moments before the shooting? Should we be questioning the official narrative or should Pretti have known better than to engage with Border Patrol agents while in handcuffs? πŸ€”
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... the footage is super clear that Pretti was shot while cuffed up πŸ˜•. It's wild that authorities are saying he was all aggressive towards them before it happened πŸ€”. I mean, have you seen the way she's stumbling back after being shot? It looks like she's trying to get away from them, not attack anyone 🚫. And what's with the "struggle" thing? That sounds super suspicious to me πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ. Can't we just rely on evidence and eyewitness accounts without making up some crazy story about it? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I don't know... πŸ€” I mean, on one hand, it's super suspicious that there are all these different versions of what happened during the shooting, and it's totally understandable that we're questioning the official story. But at the same time... like, shouldn't we be giving law enforcement the benefit of the doubt? They have a tough job to do, you know?

And I'm not saying that Pretti was definitely being "agitated and hostile" or anything, but maybe he was just really upset because his friend/colleague had just been shot by Border Patrol agents? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I mean, can't we imagine how frustrating that would be for him?

But on the other hand... if law enforcement is saying one thing about what happened and eyewitnesses are saying another, doesn't that make it seem like they're covering something up or hiding some info? Like, isn't transparency a major thing when it comes to investigations like this? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Ugh, I'm so confused... 😩
 
πŸ€” this whole thing just feels so... murky. like there's some major info missing. i mean, if pretti was handcuffed and shot while seemingly unarmed, that's already super suspicious. but what really gets me is that law enforcement is painting pretti as some kind of crazy person who was hostile towards them. and then the witnesses come forward and say nope, pretti was clearly under duress? it's just so... inconsistent.

i'm not saying the border patrol agents didn't have a right to defend themselves or anything, but can't we at least get some clarity on what happened here? 18 years of experience as an ICU nurse doesn't exactly scream "violent extremist". something fishy is going on and i think we deserve better than this half-truths and conflicting accounts. πŸ™
 
can you believe this? 🀯 another innocent life lost due to cops behaving badly πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ it's like they're just making up stories as they go along. i mean, what even is the point of having a struggle when there's no video evidence? it sounds like just more of their BS to cover themselves up. and let's be real, the fact that they're calling pretti "agitated and hostile" is straight out of a bad cop script 🚫 newsflash: if you're being attacked by cops, you don't get to choose how you react πŸ˜… we need better accountability measures in place so this kind of thing never happens again πŸ’”
 
this whole thing is super worrying πŸ€•... I mean, as an ICU nurse myself, it's hard not to imagine how Alex Pretti must have felt in those last moments. the fact that we're still unsure what happened is a huge problem - the lack of transparency from law enforcement is basically untrustworthy πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. I'm so frustrated for Pretti's family and loved ones, who deserve so much more than this kind of uncertainty πŸ˜”. it's like, we need to know the truth behind what happened here, not just some version that's been filtered through official channels πŸ‘Š.
 
I'm so frustrated with all these conflicting stories around Alex Pretti's fatal shooting... 🀯 This case is like a big ol' knot in my stomach - I just wanna know what really happened 😩. To me, the video footage shows that something fishy went down, but it's not clear what exactly. If officials are saying one thing and eyewitnesses are saying another, then that raises so many red flags about our justice system 🚨. We need more transparency and accountability from law enforcement to ensure that we're getting the truth πŸ’―. I'm tired of watching these kinds of situations get swept under the rug without any real answers... it's time for some serious investigation πŸ”.
 
I'm getting really frustrated with this whole thing 🀯. Like, how can we trust what's being told to us when there are so many discrepancies? The video footage is clear as day - no way Pretti was shot while handcuffed. And now I'm hearing that he might have been under duress too... it's just not adding up. Can't we get some straight answers here? πŸ€”

And what really gets my goat is when officials try to spin the story to suit their own narrative. "Engaged in a struggle" - really? That sounds like cop speak for "we made a mistake and shot him". I mean, I get it, law enforcement can be imperfect, but we need to hold them accountable.

The bigger issue here is that we're still trying to figure out what happened without all the facts. It's time for some transparency, you know? Let's not make assumptions or try to fill in gaps with incomplete info. We deserve better than that πŸ’‘
 
Wow 🀯, this is so messed up! I cant believe an 18 year veteran nurse was shot by a border patrol agent in the ICU where he was working 😱. The fact that there are multiple accounts of what happened but the official story keeps changing is super suspicious πŸ’”. If law enforcement can't even get it right then how can we trust them to make decisions about accountability and justice? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ This needs to be investigated ASAP πŸ”
 
omg this is so messed up 🀯 like how can you have an entire video of the incident but still get it wrong? and what's with the contradictory accounts? πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ officials are saying one thing but witnesses are saying another... it's like, come on people! πŸ˜’ can't we just know what really happened here?

and honestly, I'm so tired of these stories where cops kill someone and then try to spin it in a way that makes them look like the victim πŸ™„ meanwhile, the real victims are their families who have to deal with the emotional trauma of losing a loved one.

I think this whole situation highlights how important it is for us to have more transparency and accountability from law enforcement πŸ” we need to make sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to situations like this where innocent people are lost. πŸ’”
 
πŸ€” this whole thing is so confusing i mean what was pretti doing that he got shot in the first place?? and why are there so many different accounts of what happened? it seems like they're trying to cover something up πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ and who gets to decide what's true and what's not? the fact that law enforcement is saying pretti was "agitated and hostile" but witnesses are saying he was under duress just doesn't add up 🀯 it feels like we're missing some key piece of information here or maybe there's more to the story than we're being told 😐
