Minnesota, I’M BACK!!
I'm so excited to announce, I have joined the team @kare11 as their newest multiskilled journalist! I’ve always been in awe of the storytelling at this station, and I still can't believe I get to be a part of this team.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a Minneapolis man Saturday morning. Alex Pretti, 37, was shot multiple times. Sandra was on her way to church when she heard gunshots, and then saw his body in the street. #Minnesota #minneapolis #shooting #alexpretti #news
