Alex Pretti Shooting: Shocking Timeline REVEALED! What REALLY Happened?

Alex Pretti Shooting: Shocking Timeline REVEALED! ...

According to ABC News, who conducted a forensic audio analysis of several verified videos, ten shots rang out in a terrifying burst lasting less than five seconds. But the timeline leading up to that deadly moment, pieced together from these videos, paints a picture starkly different from the initial statements released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The videos show Pretti apparently filming Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers with his phone at least three minutes before the Shooting. This seemingly innocuous act appears to have escalated into a deadly confrontation. Minutes later, the footage captures Pretti pinned to the ground by multiple agents, one of whom is seen striking him. Adding fuel to the fire, an officer then appears to withdraw from the struggle holding what seems to be a handgun.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated during a press conference that Pretti "arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement." However, the videos verified by ABC News appear to contradict this claim. The footage shows Pretti seemingly recording the agents before being shoved and pepper-sprayed, then pulled into the street. It's a crucial detail, and frankly, difficult to reconcile with the DHS's characterization of events.

While Pretti was subdued on the street, one of the agents is seen holding a handgun that matches the weapon federal officials claim Pretti was carrying. Another agent is observed drawing his own weapon, while a third continues to strike Pretti. The sequence of events, meticulously documented in the videos, raises serious questions about the justification for the use of deadly force. Pretti was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving behind a community in mourning and demanding accountability.

John Cohen, a former acting DHS undersecretary for intelligence and an ABC News contributor, minced no words. "What the videos depict is that this guy did not walk up to anybody from CBP in a threatening manner," he stated. "For [DHS] to construe that he arrived at that location with the intent to shoot those border patrol officers, there's nothing in the video evidence that we've seen thus far that would support that.”

Here's the timeline based on the verified videos: * **8:58:11 a.m.** – Pretti is seen holding a phone before a federal officer, seemingly recording a detention. * **8:58:22 a.m.** – A second officer approaches Pretti with pepper spray. * **8:58:29 a.m.** – An officer appears to push Pretti towards the sidewalk. * **8:59:08 a.m.** – Another eyewitness begins recording, showing Pretti with his phone. * **8:59:24 a.m.** – Pretti is seen lifting a phone before the situation escalates. The investigation is ongoing.
