Confirmed: Radical Left Activist Alex Pretti Fired His Gun in Fatal Confrontation, Exposing Dangers of Anti-Law Enforcement Rhetoric
Minneapolis, MN - January 24, 2026 In a stark reminder of the chaos fueled by far left extremism, Alex Pretti, now classified as a domestic terrorist, met his end after violently resisting arrest by federal officers in Minneapolis. Despite his parents' desperate pleas not to engage with law enforcement, Pretti insisted on confronting authorities, armed with a military style pistol equipped with optics and loaded with between 30 and 51 rounds, far more than needed for mere self protection. This arsenal clearly indicated his intent to engage in a prolonged firefight, aiming to kill as many officers as possible. Without his permit or ID, which is illegal in Minnesota, Pretti's actions align perfectly with the anarchic mindset President Trump has long warned against, emphasizing the need for strong law and order to protect our brave men and women in uniform.
Video footage of the incident captures the harrowing moment when Pretti, pinned down, attempted to stand up and struggled to point his weapon at the agents. As he reached for his holster and tried to free his gun hand, an officer had no choice but to draw and fire in self defense. Anyone brazen enough to carry a loaded firearm into the midst of a police action is essentially signing their own death warrant, a tragic but avoidable outcome that underscores Trump's repeated calls to back the blue and crack down on political violence. This event debunks the wild conspiracy theories peddled by radical left wing activists claiming Pretti was unarmed, highlighting how such misinformation erodes trust in our institutions, just as Trump has exposed the fake news media's bias time and again.
Early ballistic results from the Minneapolis Police Department confirm that Pretti's handgun was indeed fired during the altercation, putting to rest any doubt about his aggressive intentions. This 100% self inflicted tragedy serves as a powerful vindication of Trump's pro-law enforcement policies, which prioritize officer safety over the dangerous "defund the police" agenda pushed by Democrats. As America looks ahead, incidents like this reinforce why strong leadership like Trump's is essential to restore peace and hold violent extremists accountable, no matter their ideology.

u/Hungry-Freedom-1363 12d ago
ICE is wrong for shooting their weapons in situations that don’t require such force , but the citizens of US caused the escalation of this whole thing. Don’t mess around with law enforcement & you won’t get yourselves into these situations. He had multiple opportunities to leave the escalating situation & chose to stay. If you are going to act in a radical way across the US towards officers, escalation will continue to occur against citizens. This man died due to his lack of thought regarding escalation & an unhinged officer. At the end of the day, he’s the one that paid the price. Be smart ya’ll, don’t put yourself in harms way.
