Who Was Alex Pretty, the Nurse Shot by ICE Agents?

Alex Jeffrey Pretty, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked at a veterans hospital, was shot and killed by ICE agents during a scuffle in Minneapolis. The incident occurred when Pretty reportedly intervened in a situation involving an agent and another individual. Newly released video appears to show Pretty on the ground and being attacked, with claims that agents removed his legally owned firearm before opening fire. Authorities maintain the use of deadly force was in self-defense. Pretty's family is alleging false statements from the government.
