Who? Not even the DHS people claim this! And why did you initially present it as a fact?

> It's less likely that an officers own gun goes off as they are familiar with it.

Again, you can clearly see/hear on the video that the agent fires the first shot. No gun went off. Why do you make stuff up?

> It also seemed threatening to the shooting officers.

I very much doubt it. At the best the agents were just badly trained and did not know how to handle someone who carries a gun (in a state that allows conceiled carrying).

I presented it initially because this has been what people think: https://youtu.be/QePoawDA_48?si=0mr-lMR_lIRoBDA_ There are many more people opining this, both as these more produced videos to simple social media postings. I still do present you the opinion that likely the confiscated gun went off which started the rest of the shooting.

The first shot is not "clearly seen" as far as I can tell.

If Pretti, and the first fired shot, didn't seem threatening then the shooting wouldn't have happened..

I'm happy that you know how law enforcement works, how to behave in critical situations and that it actually is possible to have perfect awareness of any situation. If you are this good, I'd suggest to join the force yourself, as you have a clear advantage in doing that kind of work.

This video ties my non-professional opinion well into the US legal fabric https://youtu.be/QePoawDA_48?si=0mr-lMR_lIRoBDA_.

    Maybe in some MAGA podcast circles. This has never been more than pure speculation. Again, why did you present it as a fact?

    Let's assume the gun went off. I'm sure the person holding that gun would have noticed that. Why wasn't this reported, especially as it would support their case? This just doesn't make any sense at all.

    > The first shot is not "clearly seen" as far as I can tell.

    It very much is. Did you even watch the video I've linked? It shows the very moment the first shot is being fired. Are you seriously claiming it is not the agent who is firing that shot? Again, not even the DHS is disputing that the agent fired the first shot.

    Stop making a fool of yourself.

      Here is at least some video infication that Pretti's gun did go off: https://youtu.be/JFSBPEQYSFE?si=hWz6bthbUtOmprhh

      There'll likely be a deeper investigation and a report to say whether that's true or not.

        That video does not show anything. Stop being ridiculous! Again, don't you think the agent who took the gun would have noticed that it went off?

        That's not a serious theory that needs investigating. I have no idea where you're getting all your "information" from, but I can tell you that you need to reflect on your media consumption. You're in a bubble.
