Now, I asked Nome if that's what they were doing, if they had this target, then why did they deviate their attention off target to the civilians?

And here's what she told me.

Now, this was contradicted in the agency's own initial review.

And remember that the report also says that the officers were originally dealing with these two other women.

And it's not until after they shove those women out of the way that they even notice Preti.

And then that quickly escalates.

Then there's a struggle to detain Preti during that struggle.

Agents shout that Preddy has a gun.

And then approximately five seconds later, the first agent discharges his gun.

Another agent also fires shots.

So this report seems to say that agents didn't even know he had a gun nor his intent when they first came across him.

And as we've later learned, Preddy had a permit to carry that gun.

Right.

And, you know, they do say in the report more information could come out.

There could be more details.

That sort of changes.

This review was based on body camera footage of agents who were on the scene when this happened, likely some initial interviews with some of those agents as well.

And so we could see additional details come to light.

But to start, this contradicts what that narrative had initially very quickly been.

This week, we very quickly saw a slew of congressional oversight hearings suddenly get put on the calendar.
