Minneapolis gathers for candlelight vigil in honour of Alex Pretti

Two agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave. The killing has provoked public outcry across the US - and put the Trump administration on the backfoot as calls escalate for the removal of the head of the Department of Homeland Security. Despite saying he wanted to deescalate a little bit - President Donald Trump again ramped up the rhetoric on January 28 - accusing the mayor of Minneapolis of playing with fire. Meanwhile the community gathered for a candlelight vigil in the city to honour the life of Alex Pretti.
