Outrage erupted Wednesday after the two Border Patrol agents believed to have killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis were placed on paid leave.

The Department of Homeland Security has not named the two officers or disclosed further information about the shooting death. The move was referred to as "standard protocol after a shooting," according to reports.

Pretti, who was carrying a licensed firearm in his waistband and did not brandish the weapon, was disarmed by federal officers before he was shot and killed.
