SANDUSKY — Dr. Amy Acton, Democratic candidate for Governor, issued a sharp rebuke Saturday following the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis this month.

The victim, 37-year-old Alex Pretti, was an intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Witnesses say Pretti was filming a federal enforcement action with his phone when he was tackled and shot by a Border Patrol agent. His death follows the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good, also 37, a poet and mother who was shot three times in her car by an ICE agent.

”What we are witnessing in Minnesota is not normal or OK,” Acton posted to X. “Law enforcement should be keeping people safe by going after dangerous criminals, not by terrorizing communities.”
