Lewzer: 'reviewing everything' after shooting of Pretti

US President Donald Trump says his administration is "reviewing everything" after the fatal shooting by immigration agents of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. The administration has defended the officer who shot Pretti. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Pretti was shot because he was "brandishing" a gun.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was directly asked twice whether the agent had done the right thing. He responded: "We're looking, we're reviewing everything and will come out with a determination." He also told the newspaper: "I don't like any shooting. I don't like it." He added: "But I don't like it when somebody goes into a protest and he's got a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn't play good either."

"Everything"?

Does that include the tapes?

I never like it when some open-carry dude interrupts me and my wife at our restaurant dinner in order to make damned sure that we both know he's armed.

But I know he doesn't deserve to be shot for it.
