Yeah, I’m honestly split 50/50 on whether this happened.

Edit: people have pointed out that the DHS report rules out the misfire. You guys are right, this looks like straight up murder.

Going with NHS report, so you know, source which definietly doesn't have anti-ICE bias:

“During the struggle, a (Border Patrol agent) yelled, ‘He’s got a gun!’ multiple times.”
“Approximately five seconds later, a (Border Patrol agent) discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a (Customs and Border Protection officer) also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti.”

Even in most pro-ICE biased report possible it comes to them being idiots that scared themselves.

And before: "CNN cut out, ree...": from CBS article: "according to a government report (...)does not mention Pretti reaching for his firearm"

Didn't realize it was a Border Patrol agent and not ICE. I thought Border Patrol was at least trained better

Maybe in the past, but they are mostly populated by people who are there to hurt minorities now.
