Joliet nurse Pat Meade said she organized the local vigil to complement a larger event being held at the same time in Chicago by National Nurses United. “It’s a nursing community response since he (Pretti) was a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, which is huge,” Meade said. The Associated Press reported Tuesday that a Customs and Border Protection official told Congress two federal officers fired shots during the encounter that killed Pretti in Minneapolis.
