Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis -- the second shooting of a U.S. citizen last month by federal agents in the city.

The shooting of Pretti, an ICU nurse, ratcheted up tensions, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement in the aftermath of the shooting.

The incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7.

Attorney General announces 2 more arrests in St. Paul church protest

Pam Bondi announced it on social media without providing details. Nine people have now been arrested following a protest inside a Minnesota church. They were named in a grand jury indictment unsealed Friday.

Independent journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were among four people arrested Friday, following the arrest of local activist Nekima Levy Armstrong.

A grand jury in Minnesota indicted all nine on federal civil rights charges of conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshippers during the Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a pastor at the church doubles as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official.

The protest generated strong objections from the Trump administration.
