Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, at about 9 a.m. Central time on Saturday morning. A video shared with The New York Times by a witness and her lawyer, as well as other video footage posted on social media, documents the violent scene, where agents appear to fire at least 10 shots in a span of five seconds.
The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security's account of the encounter, which the agency said began after an individual armed with a handgun approached the federal agents with the intent to "massacre" them.
