It was a deadly weekend in Minneapolis.
On Saturday, a federal immigration officer fatally shot a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S.
citizen, Alex Preddy.
That's Heather Zielinski, a friend of Preddy.
Preddy worked at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Minneapolis.
A video circulating from 2024 shows Preddy honoring a veteran he had cared for.
Preddy's death comes two weeks after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Macklin Good.
Federal officials claim Preddy, quote, brandished a weapon and tried to assault officers as they conducted an immigration enforcement operation.
