A vigil to remember ICU nurse Alex Pretti was held outside the Veterans Administration headquarters in Washington late Wednesday, drawing nurses, federal workers and a large crowd of local residents, who condemned last Saturday's fatal shooting of Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis. The call for justice spread to Oakland, California, where demonstrators marched in protest on January 27, with relentless protests continuing across the United States. Two federal agents involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave since Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed.
