Two federal officers fired shots during the encounter that killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a Customs and Border Protection official told Congress in a notice sent Tuesday.

Officers tried to take Pretti into custody and he resisted, leading to a struggle, according to a notification to Congress obtained by The Associated Press. During the struggle, a Border Patrol agent yelled, “He’s got a gun!” multiple times, the official said.

A Border Patrol officer and a CBP officer each fired Glock pistols, the notice said.

    He didn’t resist, the little fuckers emptied a can of mace into him then started hitting him with the can. They were pulling him all over the place while he was getting beat on by a swarm of fuckers angry at him for daring to try and protect an innocent woman from getting abused. One of the best of us was killed by two of the worst of us.
