Minneapolis ¨C Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said the NBA team was ¡°heartbroken¡± by the events unfolding in Minneapolis, where federal agents shot and killed a second U.S. citizen amid the Trump administration¡¯s mass immigration crackdown.
An emotional Finch spoke to reporters shortly before the Timberwolves took on the Golden State Warriors in Minneapolis on Sunday, a game postponed from Saturday when the city was sent reeling by the shooting death of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car.
¡°As an organization, we are heartbroken for what we are having to witness and endure and watch,¡± Finch said. ¡°We just want to extend our thoughts, prayers and concern for Mr. Pretti¡¯s family, all the loved ones, and everyone involved in such an unconscionable situation in a community that we really love.¡±
