Two federal officers fired their weapons in Alex Pretti shooting, DHS says

Two federal law enforcement officers fired their weapons during the Minneapolis encounter that left 37-year-old Alex Pretti dead on Saturday.

The DHS report detailing the fatal shooting incident was part of CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility investigation into the encounter.
