Protester Screams 'Shoot Me' at Federal Agents Following Killing of Alex Pretti
A protester screamed at Homeland Security Investigations agents near the scene of a deadly shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday, January 24. Footage captured by Hailey Sweitzer shows a protester screaming at the agents shortly after federal agents pinned Alex Pretti to the ground before shooting and killing him on Saturday. The incident marked the third shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis. Renee Good was shot dead on January 7 and a man was shot in the leg about a week later. In the footage, a man can be seen yelling at agents to “shoot us in the f—ing face. Shoot me in the f—ing head. Why don’t you f—ing shoot me in the f—ing head, you cowards? You’re f—ing cowards. I’m right here. F—ing kill me.”
