Two Agents Shot Alex Pretty, US Report Reveals

An official report from the US Department of Homeland Security states that two agents shot Alex Pretty during an operation in Minneapolis, resulting in his fatal injury. The report states that Pretty resisted arrest, but does not confirm initial claims by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that Pretty was armed. Instead, video footage from witnesses appears to show the officers opening fire while Pretty was already disarmed and lying on the ground. The two agents have been placed on administrative leave while the case is under investigation. An analysis by the New York Times supports the claim that the officers fired ten times, six of which while Pretty was motionless.
