Obamas say killing of Minneapolis man should be ‘wakeup call to every American'
Former US President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama released a joint statement Sunday condemning the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse who was shot dead the previous day by a federal Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault," they said.
