Two US federal agents fired their weapons during the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, according to a government report sent to Congress. The incident occurred on January 23 and has raised questions about the use of deadly force by federal law enforcement officers.

The report, which was obtained by CBS News, states that the two agents involved fired their guns after Pretti allegedly pointed a gun at them. However, it does not provide further details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting or the identities of the agents involved.

Pretti's death has sparked widespread condemnation from community leaders and lawmakers, who are calling for greater accountability and oversight of federal law enforcement agencies.

The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile shootings involving federal agents, which have raised concerns about police brutality and excessive use of force. The report's release to Congress comes as lawmakers are considering legislation aimed at improving transparency and oversight of federal law enforcement agencies.

CBS News correspondent Ian Lee has more on this developing story.
 
I'm really troubled by this latest incident involving Alex Pretti... It's just so senseless 🤕. I mean, two US federal agents firing their guns without any clear warning or reason? That's just a recipe for disaster. And to think that it was all caught on camera... no doubt there are some disturbing footage out there.

What really gets me is the lack of transparency surrounding this whole thing. No details about what led up to the shooting, no explanation from the agents involved... it's like they're trying to sweep it under the rug 🚮. And the fact that lawmakers are just now deciding to take action on legislation aimed at improving oversight and accountability? It feels like a classic case of "too little, too late" ⏰.

We need to make sure that our law enforcement agencies are held accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to situations like this. The public has the right to know what's going on, and we deserve better than a cover-up 📊. This whole thing needs to be investigated thoroughly, with no stone left unturned... until we get some real answers 👀.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 🤔. Two agents firing their guns in a split second? It's a lot to take in. I mean, we all know that police work can be high-stress, but shouldn't they have some kind of de-escalation training or something? It feels like there should be more resources dedicated to helping these officers deal with situations like this without resorting to violence 💡. And what's up with the report not providing any details about what led up to the shooting? That just seems like a whole lot of omission to me 🤷‍♂️. Can't we have some transparency here? We need to know if our laws enforcement officers are following protocol and using their training properly 🔍.
 
🤔 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... Two US federal agents firing their guns without knowing the circumstances? That's just not right, you know? It sounds like a scene from one of those action movies, but in real life it's just tragic.

I think what really gets me is that Alex Pretti was killed in cold blood. The report doesn't even give us the full story about what happened before the shooting. I mean, we're talking about human lives here... brothers, fathers, sons... all cut short by a burst of gunfire.

As someone who's lived long enough to see some pretty crazy stuff go down, I've learned that sometimes the truth comes out slow and it can be hard to know what really happened. But in this case, I think we need more transparency and accountability from our law enforcement agencies. We need to make sure that these kinds of incidents don't keep happening.
 
Just when you think the US is moving forward 🤦‍♂️, another shooting happens 💔. When will we learn from these incidents? The whole thing stinks 😒. Can't believe they're releasing a report to Congress instead of just giving us some real answers 🚫. Something's gotta change ⏰.
 
Man, this is a total mess. I'm not surprised that the government report didn't provide any details about what went down before the shooting. It's like they're trying to sweep it under the rug. I mean, come on, two federal agents firing their guns without any provocation? That's just too much. It's like we're living in a police state or something.

And let's be real, this is exactly what happens when you have agencies with too much power and not enough accountability. We need to be holding our law enforcement agencies accountable for their actions, not covering them up. I'm all for transparency and oversight, but it seems like they're more interested in protecting each other than doing what's right.

It's also interesting that this is happening at the same time when lawmakers are considering legislation aimed at improving transparency and oversight of federal law enforcement agencies. You'd think that would be a no-brainer, but I guess you'd be surprised by how complex things can get. It's like, why didn't they do this sooner? It's not like it's a new idea or anything... 🤔👮‍♂️
 
man this is crazy ... two feds just shoot some dude and now they're asking questions about why... it feels like the same old thing, you know? another black guy gets shot by cops and everyone's like "what happened?" but we never really get to see what went down before it all goes down hill...

i'm glad community leaders are speaking out and demanding some answers, but at the same time i feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg... we need more than just some report coming out to Congress, we need real change ... we need to hold these agents accountable for their actions and make sure that whoever is in charge is actually doing something about it... 🤔
 
oh man, another shootout with the feds 🤣... like what even is the criteria for when they say "you're a threat" 🤑? I mean I get it, we don't want crazy people running around with guns, but come on, can't we just defuse the situation with a nice cup of tea and some biscuits 🍵👀? and btw, why do we need to know who fired first? like, that's not what we're paying them for, right? 🤪
 
I'm kinda shocked by this news 🤔. I mean, two US federal agents fired their guns during the shooting... it's just a lot to take in. The fact that Pretti was shot and killed raises so many questions about what actually happened leading up to that moment. Did he really point a gun at them? Were there other options for de-escalation?

The lack of details from the report is kinda frustrating 🤷‍♂️. I mean, we're talking about a life lost here. Community leaders and lawmakers are calling for accountability and oversight... I think that's super reasonable. We need to know what happened and how it can be prevented in the future.

It's also worth noting that this incident is part of a bigger conversation about police brutality and excessive use of force 🗣️. We need to make sure that federal law enforcement agencies are held to high standards of transparency and accountability. This report's release to Congress is a step in the right direction, but we need to see more concrete action taken to address these issues 💪.
 
This is so messed up 🤕. I'm still trying to process what happened with Alex Pretti. Two agents just fired their guns without knowing for sure if he was a threat? That's crazy talk 😲. I get that they were trained to react, but come on, can't we find a way to de-escalate situations before things go south? This kind of incident is exactly why we need more transparency and oversight in law enforcement 🕵️‍♀️.

And what's up with the fact that it took a report from Congress for this info to come out? Can't we trust our government officials to be honest about what happens when they're involved in these kinds of incidents? It feels like they're hiding something, which is just going to fuel more anger and mistrust 🤦‍♀️. Anyway, my heart goes out to Pretti's family and loved ones 😔. We need to do better, folks.
 
I cant even imagine being in Alex Pretti's shoes, knowing you did nothing wrong but were shot by 2 armed agents 🤕😱 it raises so many questions about how we handle situations like these, is it always fatal? can they just walk away with a warning or what? 💭 and the fact that its taking a while to get answers from them is kinda frustrating, i mean we deserve to know whats going on! 🙄
 
😕🤔 this is so sad 🌧️ alex pretti was just 21 yrs old 💀 and lost his life to 2 trained agents 🚨💪 who were supposed to protect him 👮‍♂️ not hurt him 💔 the report dont give us much info 🤷‍♀️ but we need more transparency 🔍 about what really happened 💥 federal law enforcement agencies need to be held accountable 🤝 for their actions 🔒 and we should all be worried 😬 about police brutality 💥 and excessive use of force ⚠️ it's time for change 🔄
 
🤔 just another tragic incident where lives get lost in a split second. feels like we're repeating the same mistakes over & over again 🙅‍♂️. people want answers, but will it lead to real change? 🤷‍♂️ still trying to wrap my head around this one...
 
🤕 I'm still trying to process what happened with Alex Pretti. Two US federal agents fired their guns, which is already super alarming. But the part that's got me really worried is how we don't know much about what led up to that moment. What were they doing? Did they have a reason to think he was a threat?

And now I'm seeing all these community leaders and lawmakers talking about accountability and oversight of federal law enforcement agencies. I get it, we need more transparency and checks in place so this kind of thing doesn't happen again. But at the same time, I want answers about what happened on January 23. Was it really a justified use of force or was there something else going on?
 
OMG 🤯 I'm so upset about this! 😡 Like, two US agents firing their guns? That's just crazy talk 💥 Can you even imagine being in that situation? 😨 Pretti was just minding his own biz and then BOOM 💥 And now there's all these questions about the circumstances leading up to it... like, what even happened beforehand? 🤔 I don't think we'll ever know for sure.

I'm so down with community leaders and lawmakers calling for more accountability and oversight of federal law enforcement agencies. 👮‍♂️ Like, they need to step up their game and make sure these agents are held accountable for their actions. 💯 We can't just let this slide because it's a high-profile incident. 📰 We need change! 🔄 And I'm so tired of all these high-profile shootings involving federal agents. It's like, what's going on? 😒 Can we please just get some answers?! 🤔
