Lead Border Patrol official tells people to stop speculating on Alex Pretti shooting
Greg Bovino is telling people to stop speculating on what happened during Saturday's shooting. Marielle Mohs shows how Border Patrol's messaging has changed in the last 24 hours
(Previously he said Pretti approached border patrol agents with a 9mm semiautomatic ... intent on doing maximum damage -- start at 0:49).
Now he's saying he's waiting for the investigation to be completed and he will not speculate on what happened and doesn't want us to speculate either

All this after a particularly bruising interview with CNN's Dana Bash

"Brandishing"
“This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations, attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming, brandishing like that,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Saturday.

When CNN’s Dana Bash asked Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino Sunday if officials have evidence to support their claim Pretti was “brandishing” his weapon, Bovino said Pretti’s firearm, at some point, became visible to officers.
”He brought a semi-automatic weapon to a riot, assaulted federal officers, and at some point, they saw that weapon,” Bovino said. “So, I do believe (Noem) is 100% spot-on in what she said.”
