Members of the Crawfordsville community came together earlier this week at St. John’s Episcopal Church to hold a vigil for Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old intensive care nurse for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Pretti was shot and killed by U.S. Customs and Border enforcement officers during a protest in Minneapolis. Although controversy continues over the facts of the shooting, Republicans and Democrats alike have called for better answers.

The vigil was led by Pastor Jason Fortner.
