The Tragic Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by U.S. Border Patrol Officer in Minneapolis

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at a VA hospital, was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Pretti, who has ties to Colorado, was described by his parents as deeply caring and passionate about social issues.
