根据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获得并提交给国会的一份政府报告,美国两名海关与边境保护局(CBP)特工在周末明尼阿波利斯ICU护士亚历克斯·普雷蒂(Alex Pretti)被致命枪击事件中开枪。该报告未提及普雷蒂伸手去拿他的枪支。
该报告于周二由CBP分享给国会官员,CBP表示这是基于其专业责任办公室(OPR)的”初步审查”。这是迄今为止关于普雷蒂被杀事件最全面的官方描述,该事件引发了两党成员的广泛抗议。
根据提交给国会的报告,CBP特工于周六上午在明尼阿波利斯执行任务时,一名官员”被两名吹哨子的女性平民围住”。报告称,该官员命令这些妇女”离开道路”。这时CBP特工首次遇到普雷蒂。
报告称:”(CBP官员)将两人推开,其中一名女性跑到一名男性身边,后来确认该男性是37岁的美国公民亚历克斯·杰弗里·普雷蒂。(CBP官员)试图将该女子和普雷蒂移离道路。该女子和普雷蒂没有移动。(CBP官员)向普雷蒂和该女子喷洒了辣椒油树脂(OC)喷雾。”
CBP补充说,CBP人员随后”试图将普雷蒂拘留”。
报告指出:”普雷蒂反抗CBP人员的行动,发生了一场搏斗。搏斗期间,一名边境巡逻队特工(BPA)多次大喊’他有枪!’。大约五秒钟后,一名边境巡逻队特工(BPA)发射了其CBP配备的格洛克19式手枪,一名CBP官员也发射了其CBP配备的格洛克47式手枪(向普雷蒂)。枪击后,一名边境巡逻队特工(BPA)表示他持有普雷蒂的枪支。该特工随后清空并将普雷蒂的枪支安全存放于其车辆中。”
CBP向国会提供的新信息与美国国土安全部(DHS)最初提供的说法不同,国土安全部上周末在一份声明中称,一名边境巡逻队特工发射了”防御性射击”。
在该声明中,DHS还称普雷蒂”手持一把9毫米半自动手枪接近CBP特工”。但CBP提交给国会的报告并未声称普雷蒂试图伸手去拿他的枪支。
枪击事件发生后数小时内,国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)指控普雷蒂携带枪支接近联邦特工,称其试图杀死官员,而边境巡逻队指挥官格雷格·博维诺(Greg Bovino)指责普雷蒂试图”屠杀执法人员”——这些指控在专业责任办公室的报告中并未出现。
政府对普雷蒂死亡事件的回应——这是本月明尼阿波利斯第二起联邦特工致命枪击事件——近日受到了严格审查,因为该事件的视频似乎与官员们声称普雷蒂持枪接近执法人员的说法相矛盾。
明尼阿波利斯警察局长布莱恩·奥哈拉(Brian O’Hara)表示,普雷蒂是一名拥有持枪许可的合法枪支拥有者。
报告未说明普雷蒂的枪是否意外发射,这是枪击事件后流传的一种猜测。特朗普总统在《华尔街日报》的一篇文章中称,普雷蒂携带的是一把”危险且不可预测的枪”,”在人们不知情的时候就会开火”。
报告还透露,美国海关与边境保护局人员移除了普雷蒂的枪支并将其存放在政府车辆中,这一决定现在引发了人们对调查完整性的更广泛担忧。
根据提交给国会官员的CBP报告,一名边境巡逻队特工报告说,枪击后立即持有普雷蒂的枪,并在之后将枪支清空并安全存放于车内。报告未具体说明是否在现场对武器进行了拍照或记录了文件化的保管链。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前报道称,联邦调查人员没有普雷蒂手枪的文件化保管链,官员们表示,枪支被放置在车辆座椅上,而不是密封在规定的塑料证据袋中,并贴上日期、物品描述和处理人姓名等标准识别细节。
提交给国会的报告证实,美国移民海关执法局(ICE)的国土安全调查局(HSI)正在调查这起枪击事件,现任和前任机构官员称,对于一个历来不调查使用武力事件的办公室来说,此举极为不寻常。报告还指出,CBP专业责任办公室(OPR)也在内部审查该事件,并且国土安全部监察长办公室已被通知。
CBP在一份声明中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻:”这些通知反映了美国海关与边境保护局的标准程序,并按照现有程序发出。它们仅提供事件的初步概述,不传达任何最终结论或调查结果。它们是事实报告——而非分析判断——并提供给国会以提高透明度。”

2 federal agents fired their weapons during Alex Pretti shooting, government report to Congress says

Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents fired their weapons during the fatal shooting of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti over the weekend, according to a government report sent to Congress and obtained by CBS News that does not mention Pretti reaching for his firearm.
The report was shared with congressional officials Tuesday by CBP, which said it was based on a “preliminary review” by its Office of Professional Responsibility. It provides the most comprehensive official account yet of Pretti’s killing, which has triggered widespread outcry from members of both parties.
According to the report to Congress, CBP agents were conducting an operation in Minneapolis on Saturday morning when an officer was “confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles.” The officer ordered the women to “move out of the roadway,” the report said. That’s when CBP agents first encountered Pretti.
“The [CBP officer] pushed them both away and one of the females ran to a male, later identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen,” the report said. “The [CBP officer] attempted to move the woman and Pretti out of the roadway. The woman and Pretti did not move. The [CBP officer] deployed his oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray towards both Pretti and the woman.”
CBP agents then “attempted to take Pretti into custody,” according to the report.
“Pretti resisted CBP personnel’s efforts and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, a BPA yelled, ‘He’s got a gun!’ multiple times,” the report said.
“Approximately five seconds later, a [Border Patrol agent] discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a [CBP officer] also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti’s firearm,” CBP added. “The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti’s firearm in his vehicle.”
The new information provided by CBP differs from the initial accounts offered by the Department of Homeland Security, which said in a statement over the weekend that one Border Patrol agent had fired “defensive shots.”
In that statement, DHS also said Pretti “approached” the CBP agents with a 9mm semi-automatic firearm. But CBP’s report to Congress makes no claim that Pretti tried to reach for his firearm.
In the hours after the shooting, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem alleged that Pretti approached federal agents with a gun in what she described as an effort to kill officers, and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino accused Pretti of trying to “massacre law enforcement” — allegations that did not appear in the Office of Professional Responsibility’s report.
The government’s response to Pretti’s death — the second fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis this month — has drawn intense scrutiny in recent days, as videos of the incident appear to contradict officials’ claims that Pretti approached law enforcement with his gun.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has said Pretti was a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.
The report does not state that Pretti’s gun discharged accidentally, one theory that has circulated in the wake of the shooting. President Trump alleged in a Wall Street Journal article that Pretti was carrying a “dangerous and unpredictable gun” that “goes off when people don’t know it.”
It also revealed that U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel removed and stored Pretti’s firearm in a government vehicle, a decision now raising broader concerns about the integrity of the investigation.
According to a CBP report sent to congressional officials, a Border Patrol agent reported taking possession of Pretti’s gun immediately after the shooting and later clearing and securing the firearm inside a vehicle. The report does not specify whether the weapon was photographed in place or logged with a documented chain of custody at the scene.
CBS News previously reported that federal investigators have no documented chain of custody for Pretti’s handgun, with officials saying the firearm was placed on the seat of a vehicle rather than sealed in a required plastic evidence bag and labeled with standard identifying details such as date, item description, and handler name.
The report to Congress confirmed ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations branch is investigating the shooting, a move current and former agency officials described as highly unusual for an office that has historically not investigated use-of-force incidents. The report said CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also reviewing the incident internally, and that the DHS Inspector General has been notified.
CBP told CBS News in a statement: “These notifications reflect standard Customs and Border Protection protocol and are issued in accordance with existing procedures. They provide an initial outline of an event that took place and do not convey any definitive conclusion or investigative findings. They are factual reports – not analytical judgments – and are provided to inform Congress and to promote transparency.”
The full report is below:
The following statement pertains to an in-custody death that occurred on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis, MN. This information is based on a preliminary review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) Investigative Operations Directorate (IOD) and may be updated and clarified as additional details become available. It is being provided to Committee staff concurrently with CBP senior leadership to ensure timely reporting.
CBP OPR IOD established the following information and timeline based on a preliminary review of body worn camera footage and CBP documentation.
On January 24, 2026, United States Border Patrol (USBP) Border Patrol Agents (BPAs) and Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) supporting Operation Metro Surge were conducting enforcement actions near the intersection of Nicollet Ave. and 26th St. in Minneapolis, MN. Several civilians were in the area yelling and blowing whistles. BPAs and CBPOs made several verbal requests for the civilians to stay on the sidewalks and out of the roadway.
At approximately 9:00 a.m., a CBPO was confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles. The CBPO ordered the female civilians to move out of the roadway, and the female civilians did not move. The CBPO pushed them both away and one of the females ran to a male, later identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen. The CBPO attempted to move the woman and Pretti out of the roadway. The woman and Pretti did not move. The CBPO deployed his oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray towards both Pretti and the woman.
CBP personnel attempted to take Pretti into custody. Pretti resisted CBP personnel’s efforts and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, a BPA yelled, “He’s got a gun!” multiple times. Approximately five seconds later, a BPA discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a CBPO also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti’s firearm. The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti’s firearm in his vehicle.
At approximately 9:02 a.m., CBP personnel cut Pretti’s clothing and provided medical aid to him by placing chest seals on his wounds. At approximately 9:05 a.m., Minneapolis Fire Department Emergency Medical Services (MFD EMS) emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrived and assumed primary medical care for Pretti.
At approximately 9:14 a.m., MFD EMTs placed Pretti in an MFD EMS ambulance and he was subsequently transported to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC). At approximately 9:32 a.m., HCMC medical personnel pronounced Pretti deceased.
CBP OPR IOD was advised that an autopsy would be conducted by medical personnel from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. CBP OPR IOD will request the official findings upon completion.
Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the incident and CBP OPR IOD is reviewing it. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General was notified.
