But multiple videos now under review appear to show Pretti holding a cellphone and recording as agents approached; no firearm is clearly visible in his hands before shots were fired. During a brief struggle, an officer appears to retrieve an object from Pretti\u2019s waist area, with gunfire following almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1712\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Audio captured after the shooting\u2014referencing \u201cwhere\u2019s the gun?\u201d\u2014has become central to questions about timing and necessity of lethal force.
