Some conservatives were quick to push back on the Department of Homeland Security’s claims following a 37-year-old man being shot and killed. A Minnesota resident — identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune as Alex Jeffrey Pretti — was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday morning. Footage from the scene showed officers tussling with Pretty before multiple shots go off. The man was later declared dead.
DHS claimed in their statement about the event that the man had been armed and acted as a threat to agents who were conducting an operation in the area. “The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots,” they said.
DHS said the suspect had two magazines and no ID. They posted a picture of the pistol the suspect allegedly had and claimed he wanted to cause “maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
Some conservatives and Second Amendment activists, however, questioned whether a rush to judgement was being made about a lawful gun owner. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a press conference that authorities believes the suspect was a “lawful gun owner.”
