Minneapolis Shooting: 10 Shots Kill VA Nurse

Minneapolis, Minnesota, officials reported that on January 25 2026, a federal agent fired ten shots at VA nurse Alex Pretti in under five seconds, killing him at Nicollet Ave. The moment before the first shot, video shows Pretti recording officers with a phone, followed by a pepper‑spray incident and a struggle in which agents pinned him on the sidewalk. A forensic audio analysis confirmed ten shots in less than five seconds. Federal officials claim Pretti approached officers with a 9 mm handgun, but video evidence reveals he was being held against his will and no gun was seen prior to the exchange. The incident sparked calls for independent investigation and heightened scrutiny of federal law‑enforcement tactics.
