Two federal agents that fired guns in shooting of Alex Pretti placed on administrative leave

Two federal officers involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave while investigations continue. The decision follows an internal review by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and contradicts earlier statements suggesting the agents had remained on duty in another city for safety reasons. Pretti, 37, was shot and killed on Saturday during an encounter with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Border Patrol agents who were conducting enforcement actions as part of Operation Metro Surge near Nicollet Avenue and 25th Street. DHS said the temporary leave is standard protocol
