Two agents who fired at Alex Pretti in Minnesota are put on leave as investigation

Two Border Patrol agents who opened fire following the altercation with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, according to reports.

Placing the agents on leave is part of standard procedure as investigations into the 37-year-old’s death continue, the Department of Homeland Security told The Independent.

Video of the fatal incident on Saturday showed Pretti facing off with federal agents holding an iPhone, then being thrown to the ground and beaten by around six or seven men. A first shot is then fired before at least nine more and Pretti falls still.

It is not clear from the footage which agent fired the first shot, or the ones that ultimately killed Pretti.
