Two federal officers involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave while investigations continue.
The decision follows an internal review by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and contradicts earlier statements suggesting the agents had remained on duty in another city for safety reasons.
Homeland Security officials said early statements describing Pretti as a potential mass attacker were based on chaotic initial reports.
Following the shooting, agents provided emergency medical aid until paramedics arrived.
The shooting of Pretti follows another fatal encounter earlier this month, when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot by an immigration officer.
