Forensic Audio: Federal Agent Fired 10 Shots in Under 5 Seconds

A federal agent fired 10 shots in less than five seconds during the fatal confrontation with Alex Pretti, a new forensic analysis reveals. The finding comes from an audio examination of video evidence from the incident. Experts conducted the study for ABC News. The timeline underscores the speed and intensity of the encounter. The entire shooting was over in the time it takes to read this sentence. Authorities have not released the name of the agent or detailed the circumstances that led to the shooting. An investigation by the involved federal agency is ongoing. The forensic audio analysis provides a precise, technical measure of the event. It does not determine whether the use of force was legally justified.
