Gun-rights groups challenge Border Patrol's account in Minneapolis shooting

Gun-rights groups are disputing federal officials’ account of the shooting of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was reportedly carrying a concealed weapon. Authorities said Pretti had a handgun and approached officers, but video from the scene appears to show him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Pretti had a permit to carry, and gun-rights advocates and groups like the NRA and Gun Owners of America are urging a full, transparent investigation and defending the right to bear arms, while DHS and FBI comments have framed the incident within concerns about protest violence.
