Border Patrol chief praises agents who killed Alex Pretti and offers surprising theory
“I believe that the fantastic training of our law enforcement partners has prevented any specific shootings of law enforcement,” Bovino said. “So good job for our law enforcement in taking him down before he was able to do that.”
Questions about whether Pretti was armed
Bash pressed Bovino on video footage that appears to show Pretti on the ground and possibly disarmed before he was shot. Bovino declined to offer a definitive assessment, repeatedly emphasizing that an investigation was ongoing.
