At least two federal agents who were involved in Saturday’s fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, two U.S. media outlets said on Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security said the two immigration agents who discharged their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti were put on leave as part of standard procedures, Fox News reported.
MS NOW earlier reported that agents involved in the shooting of Pretti were being put on leave, citing an unnamed source.
