| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. This is Stefan Molyneu from Free Domain, Free Domain.com. We're going to have some expert |
| 0:05.7 | feedback coming up. Let's just go over the shooting quickly on January 24th, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
| 0:13.6 | 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Preti, an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital and licensed |
| 0:19.8 | concealed carry permit holder with no criminal record, |
