Video Analyses at Odds with DHS Statements on Minneapolis Shooting

The Department of Homeland Security hasn't provided evidence for some statements administration officials made within hours of the Jan. 24 fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, and some of those statements appear to be contradicted by bystander video shared publicly so far.

Multiple analyses of videos of the killing raise questions about the administration's account that Pretti "approached" officers with a handgun, "violently resisted" an attempt to "disarm" him, and "wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement."

We'd caution that it's early in the investigation and that more information should be revealed, particularly about what happened before what's shown in available bystander videos. DHS told NBC News that there is body-camera video available from multiple federal agents, but those videos have not been publicly released.
