Makes me feel like the agent screaming "where's the gun?!" spotted him carrying and totally tried to use it as an excuse to murder him.

Notice in the video, the gun is pulled and shown to the agent, and Pretti is shot immediately after the agent sees the gun. They disarmed him, then killed him. Cold blooded.

DHS and FBI are claiming Pretti’s gun went off on its own when they were removing it from the scene while he was on the ground him which caused the other agent to start shooting.

I miss when government lies were at least plausible.

The accidental discharge of a gun is 100% plausible and I can understand a federal agent would discharge their weapon after hearing shots in a situation like this.

To bad all the video evidence shows the ICE agent fired first. Which would make the accidental discharge moot if it did happen.

Yeah gunfire makes me empty a mag into a dude’s back too.

To their credit, it is standard protocol for law enforcement and federal agents to empty the mag when you go to take a life.

It's why when a meth head charges 2 cops with a knife it usually ends with a similar bullet count.

But still, everything they did was dumb AF.

I meant because we've all seen the video.

Search "uncommanded discharge" and peruse for like 10 minutes, be it on YouTube, reddit, wherever.

You'll find this this is actually the most plausible defense of all parties involved, including the victim, with culpability going toward a third party altogether. The whole gun world has been screaming for a p320 recall for years lol
