Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to "massacre" law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account. The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse described by the Minneapolis police chief as a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Federal officials said he was armed, but there is no sign in videos analyzed by The New York Times that he pulled his weapon, or that agents even knew he had one until he was already pinned on the sidewalk.

A man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday in an incident involving federal law enforcement, who said the man was armed. Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse and Minneapolis resident, was shot several times in the chest before he was taken to the hospital, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara told NewsNation, The Hill's cable news partner. The shooting comes weeks after a federal immigration enforcement officer shot and killed a woman, resident Renee Good, setting off widespread protests in the Twin Cities amid escalation tensions between federal and local officials.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) identified the man fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis Saturday as one of its members, Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, was shot during an immigration enforcement operation early Saturday targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic assault for intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license. Homeland Security officials said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9 mm pistol and "violently resisted" when they attempted to disarm him.
