Kris Harrison told investigators he showed his daughter a Glock 9mm he kept in his bedside cabinet after arguing about Trump. As he lifted the weapon, he heard a loud bang and she fell. He said he could not recall if his finger was on the trigger.

@nbcla.com just so you know, we see no difference between LAPD and the feds. When ICE was showing out last summer and the people were protesting, LAPD was shooting reporters and peaceful protesters with “less than lethal” rounds. LAPD are no angels

Fun fact: I learned today that DHS puts out a daily newsletter to employees with links to news stories about the agency. We found this out because my editor noticed referral traffic from it. So when we in the press write these stories, DHS tells its employees to read them...???

Alex Pretti is dead. Federal agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez fired the shots—now ruled a homicide. Names shouldn’t be buried, and neither should accountability. If this ends in silence, remember who pulled the trigger and who protected them. Repost.
