Videos show altercation between Alex Pretti and federal officers 11 days before he was killed

Videos have surfaced showing Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis, in a prior altercation with federal agents 11 days earlier. The videos, taken on January 13th during protests against a federal crackdown, show officers grabbing and tackling Pretti after he yelled at agents in an unmarked vehicle and kicked its tail light. The footage reveals a heavily armed agent tackling Pretti, who then broke free and remained at the scene as agents left. A gun was visible in Pretti's waistband, though he never touched it. Pretti's family confirmed his identity in the video and stated he sustained injuries but did not seek medical care. The family's attorney stated that this prior incident could not justify Pretti's subsequent killing.
