In the quiet hours of a Minneapolis morning, gunfire shattered the calm—and a nearby pediatrician became an eyewitness to a tragedy that would shock the nation. Alex Pretti, a 29-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by federal immigration agents.
The physician’s sworn account, later filed in federal court, provides one of the clearest civilian perspectives on the chaotic moments immediately following the shooting, raising urgent questions about how the incident was handled.
According to the doctor, Pretti was lying on his side on the pavement, surrounded by multiple agents. From a medical standpoint, the positioning was alarming, and no immediate medical aid appeared to be administered.
