Also, we know that Border Patrol agents were trying to conduct an operation to detain an illegal with a violent criminal history when this all went down.

That illegal is still at large.

Preddy seems to have inserted himself in this situation while Border Patrol is dealing with an agitator.

From DHS's perspective, Secretary Kristi Noem described the incident as an avoidable tragedy.

Here she is on Saturday.

President Trump responded to the shooting just hours after the incident.

He noted Preddy's handgun, but he really criticized Democrat leaders in the state for what he said was inciting insurrection.

Obviously, that term, insurrection, is no accident and very much loaded.

The president also questioned if these leaders called off local law enforcement so that federal officers would be left unprotected and, you know, create this tragic situation.

Right.

The footage shows just a lot of chaos going on when Preti is shot.

You can hear agitators blowing whistles, for example.

That's meant to distract and cause confusion for officers.

And while the scuffle is going on, pepper spray is deployed and an officer reportedly yells, gun.

That was right before you hear gunshots go off.

There have been questions about when exactly Preddy was disarmed, if he was disarmed before the shooting.

Analysis from the Wall Street Journal claims that Preddy's handgun was taken by an officer less than one second before you hear 10 shots ring out.

Warning to listeners, we're going to play a bit of audio from the incidents, and it's obviously disturbing.

We've also heard from the victim's family.

They say that Preddy was a caring ICU nurse at a VA hospital, and they're accusing the Trump administration of telling sickening lies.
