In an early evening press conference, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem described the footage above. “An individual approached officers with a 9-millimeter semi automatic handgun. Officers attempted to disarm this individual but the armed suspect reacted violently,” she said. “Fearing for his life and the lives of his fellow officers around him, and agent fired defensive shots.”
It’s difficult to watch the footage above and see Pretti creating fear in the half dozen ICE agents surrounding him, or the nearly dozen shots fired at Pretti being defensive, yet that’s exactly what Noem claimed.
