"Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse, was fatally shot by DHS agents on Saturday while observing operations in Minneapolis. Stella Carlson, who has been dubbed the "pink coat lady," was seen in the background of several videos from other observers. Footage taken by her gave the clearest view of the incident, showing that Pretti's legal firearm was confiscated by agents before they killed him."
"Video taken by Carlson shows Pretti attempted to help a woman who was being pepper-sprayed before ICE agents wrestled him to the ground and took his holstered firearm, which he had a legal permit to carry. While Pretti was restrained on the ground and unarmed, an unidentified weapon held by one of the agents discharged, and two unidentified agents responded by shooting Pretti at least ten times."
Stella Carlson captured the clearest footage of the killing of 37-year-old VA nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis during immigration-enforcement operations. Pretti, who had a legal permit to carry, attempted to help a pepper-sprayed woman and to direct traffic. ICE/DHS agents wrestled Pretti to the ground, removed his holstered firearm, and while he was restrained and unarmed an unidentified weapon discharged; two agents then shot Pretti at least ten times. Carlson said she carries a whistle and fears for safety after a prior killing. Carlson was on her way to paint children's faces when she encountered the scene.
