Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O\u2019Hara has countered that Pretti is believed to have been a lawful gun owner with a valid permit to carry. Furthermore, at the time of this reporting, no evidence has surfaced to suggest Pretti intended to cause harm to federal officers\u2014a point his grieving family has emphasized in a stinging public statement.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"10\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Physician\u2019s Testimony<\/b><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">The most damning evidence against the federal response comes from a witness identified as a physician, whose formal statement has now been filed in federal court. The doctor, who was present during the altercation, explicitly stated that Pretti did not brandish a weapon.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">\u201cI saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind,\u201d the witness testified. \u201cSuddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground. My view of the altercation was partially obstructed, but after a few seconds, I saw at least four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man at least six or seven times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The physician attempted to intervene to provide emergency medical treatment, but described a scene of clinical indifference.
