Read our Privacy noticeTwo Border Patrol agents who opened fire following the altercation with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, according to reports.
Placing the agents on leave is part of standard procedure as investigations into the 37-year-old’s death continue, the Department of Homeland Security told The Independent.
A first shot is then fired before at least nine more and Pretti falls still.
It is not clear from the footage which agent fired the first shot, or the ones that ultimately killed Pretti.
The White House has also removed Border Patrol “commander at large” Gregory Bovino from the city and sent border czar Tom Homan to take over.
