Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Trump did not express whether he felt the shooting was justified or not but did say: “We’re looking, we’re reviewing everything and will come out with a determination.”
He added: “I don’t like any shooting. I don’t like it.
“But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn’t play good either.”
Trump went on to call Pretti’s gun, a Sig Sauer P320 9mm pistol, a ‘very dangerous gun, a dangerous and unpredictable gun. It’s a gun that goes off when people don’t know it’.
This is likely in reference to reports of the Sig Sauer P320 firing without the trigger being pulled. It has been at the center of several lawsuits, NPR reports.
