US President Donald Trump wants to „de-escalate“ the situation in Minnesota following talks with the Democratic mayor and state governor.
The two agents who fired their guns during Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting in Minnesota have been placed on administrative leave, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.
The report comes from NBC News, the US partner of Sky News.
A preliminary DHS report sent to Congress detailing Pretti’s killing on Saturday said two officers fired their weapons during the struggle, but did not confirm claims from federal officials that the nurse was „brandishing“ a gun.
The two border control agents have not been named.
Mr Pretti had himself attended protests in the aftermath of Ms Good’s death.
On Tuesday, Donald Trump appeared to distance himself from controversial remarks made by senior members of his administration about the shooting.
