Two federal agents fired their guns during the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on Jan. 24, according to a copy of a Department of Homeland Security internal investigation report obtained by USA TODAY.
The report states that the officers began firing after an agent yelled "he’s got a gun" multiple times. It does not say that the bullets from both agency members hit Pretti.
Videos from bystanders − and a witness account in court filings − do not show Pretti brandishing a weapon when he approached agents.
The investigation was performed by Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility and preliminary findings were based on body-worn camera footage and agency documentation, according to the report. It does not name the agents involved in the shooting.
Here is the report of the DHS investigation into the shooting of Alex Pretti.
