What the evidence supports
Alex Pretti’s loaded handgun showed that he posed an armed threat to federal officers when they shot him.
Pretti was legally carrying a loaded handgun, but videos reviewed by multiple news organizations show a phone in his hand, do not show him brandishing the gun or threatening officers, and appear to show an officer removing it before the fatal shots.
