Chapter 2: What incident in Minneapolis is being discussed?
Minnesota! Minnesota!
Minnesota!
Protesters in Minneapolis turn out in freezing weather to demand accountability over the fatal shooting of Alex Preti, a 37-year-old nurse killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday. This is what democracy looks like! The National Guard's been mobilized in the city as tensions grow over President Trump's immigration crackdown and the violent tactics used to enforce it.
At the center is conflicting versions of what exactly happened to Preti. Officials say he assaulted officers, compelling them to fire in self-defense. But that's at odds with video evidence. Reuters has analysed footage of the shooting frame by frame. Here's Fernando Robles from our visual verification team on what they saw in three videos they verified from the scene.
The first one was filmed three minutes before the shooting started. In this video, you can see Freddy walking down the street. He's filming and a bunch of agents are also in the street.
At this point, a federal agent pushes one woman nearby and shoves another to the ground.
We can see Preti on his right hand holding a phone. He was filming. And on the left side, we don't see anything. You know, he has nothing on the left hand.
Preti moves between the agent and the women and raises his left hand to shield himself as the agent pepper sprays him. Soon after, agents push Preti to his hands and knees, and as he is pinned down, someone shouts what sounds like a warning about the presence of a gun.
Video footage then appears to show one of the agents removing a handgun from Preti's waistband area and stepping away from the group with it. Moments later, an officer points at Preti's back and fires four shots in quick succession. Several more shots are heard as another agent also appears to fire.
