NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti | The Guardian

The NRA and pro-gun groups are calling for a full investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse who was shot by federal immigration officials in Minneapolis. Pretti was legally permitted to carry a gun and is a US citizen. The NRA criticized a Trump-appointed US attorney who claimed federal agents were legally justified in shooting Pretti if he approached them with a gun. The NRA and other groups argue that the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms while protesting and that the officers' actions were not legally justified.
