One of the women Alex Pretti was killed trying to defend is an EMT. Federal agents stopped her from giving him first aid.

Video footage captured by another bystander shows that just as Pretti managed to stabilize the EMT, agents shoved the other woman to the ground. As Pretti and the EMT attempt to help her stand up, multiple agents surround the group and begin to spray them with cans of chemical irritant. Some of the agents continue pursuing the women, while others separate Pretti from the group and begin beating him.

“I was saying to the agents, “We’re leaving! We’re leaving. We’re leaving!’ — just trying desperately to like get them to stop,” the EMT said.

She realized later, watching the video, that the same agent who grabbed her was one of the officers who shot Pretti.

    Well of course they couldn’t let her attempt to render aid; they needed to make sure that his summary execution was completed.
