WHAT WE KNOW: Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis ICU nurse, is the person who was fatally shot by Border Patrol, according to the American Federation of Government Employees. Federal officials say the man approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9mm pistol and "violently resisted" when they attempted to disarm him. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino says an agent then fired "defensive shots." State officials say the man had a lawful Permit to Carry. In its statement, AFGE says the viral video of the shooting doesn't clearly show him brandishing a weapon. At the time of the shooting, federal officials were 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.
