Alex Pretti, 37, was the man fatally shot by a federal agent Saturday morning. Gov. Tim Walz called federal claims of what happened at the scene “nonsense” and “lies” and said the state’s judicial system “will have the last word.” State agents said the feds denied them access to the scene even after investigators got a search warrant signed by a judge.
