A makeshift memorial has been set up for Alex Pretti, the US citizen who was shot dead on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security claims that he approached officers carrying a firearm and violently resisted disarmament. However, state officials say that video footage of the shooting contradicts this account of events. Pretti’s parents have accused the Trump administration of telling ‘sickening lies’ about their son.
