Fresh vision has emerged of Minnesota ICU nurse Alex Pretti clashing with US border patrol agents almost a fortnight before he was shot dead by federal officers.

Digital outlet The News Movement obtained previously unseen footage of Pretti, 37, becoming involved in a physical altercation with ICE officers in Minneapolis 11 days before Saturday's fatal shooting.

Pretti's family confirmed to CNN that he is the man seen in the video, while The News Movement also claims the BBC has verified the footage.

He was seen kicking and damaging the taillight of a federal vehicle as it drove away, before an agent exited the car and tackled him to the ground.

Several other agents also pinned Pretti to the ground during the clash.

The scuffle lasted only a few moments before he was released.

Pretti had been joined by a crowd of bystanders who were heard shouting at the agents as the incident unfolded.

The agents were then filmed deploying a smoke device before driving away from the scene.

The incident reportedly took place about three kilometres from where Pretti was shot dead by border agents on January 24.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told CNN it is now reviewing the footage.

"A week before Alex was gunned down in the street – despite posing no threat to anyone – he was violently assaulted by a group of ICE agents," attorney for the Pretti family Steve Schleicher told the outlet.

"Nothing that happened a full week before could possibly have justified Alex's killing at the hands of ICE on Jan 24."

Pretti was fatally gunned down by federal agents when he approached officers who were allegedly targeting a woman on a street on Sunday morning AEDT.

Officers tried to take Pretti into custody and he resisted, leading to a struggle, according to a notification to Congress obtained by The Associated Press.

During the struggle, a Border Patrol agent yelled, "He's got a gun!" multiple times, the official said.

Pretti had a gun on his person, but he did not have it in his hands at the time of the incident, nor did he appear to visibly threaten the officers with a weapon or with any violence.

A Border Patrol officer and a CBP officer each fired Glock pistols, the notice said.

Pretti's death, which followed the fatal shooting of female demonstrator Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent earlier this month, triggered outrage across the US.

The two US immigration officers involved in the deadly shooting have been placed on leave, officials said.

Democratic senators have demanded major changes to how US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operate as a partial government shutdown looms.

A partial shutdown is imminent over Democratic opposition to DHS funding.

Among the demands are forcing agents to have warrants for arrests, legislating the use of body cameras and banning masks.

"This madness, this terror must stop," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said.

Police are continuing to investigate whether there are any links between the Fitzroy shooting and the New Year's Eve stabbing of two men on Lygon Street in Carlton.

Two men were critically injured after a group of about seven men armed with machetes and knives attacked them outside a restaurant about 11.45pm.

A 20-year-old Heidelberg West man and an 18-year-old NSW man were seriously injured and taken to hospital.

A 21-year-old Fitzroy man, a 21-year-old Richmond man and a 17-year-old boy from the Melbourne area have been charged with multiple offences including violent disorder and affray.

Detectives, regional police and special units have established Operation Firelong to investigate the two alleged crimes and prevent ongoing violence.

The investigations remain ongoing.

A murderer has been jailed for life after setting his wife and stepdaughter on fire and then blaming his dying partner.

Roland James Griffiths, 41, was sentenced this morning at Melbourne's Supreme Court almost four years after he poured petrol and set Kylie Sheahan, 35, alight.

Sheahan, a mother of six, died and her 16-year-old daughter suffered burns to more than 50 per cent of her body as she tried to save her mum's life.

Griffiths had made threats to burn down the Albanvale home, in Melbourne's north-west, in the months leading up to the deadly March 2022 blaze.

Seven children were home when a heavily intoxicated Griffiths poured a jerry can of petrol onto Sheahan and then held a lighter against her.

Two of his stepdaughters begged him not to light the petrol and instead of listening he taunted them, the court was told.

"I promise bub, I swear … I won't do it," Griffiths replied, before placing the lighter near the ground and setting Sheahan alight.

Flames spread to his 16-year-old stepdaughter and to Griffiths, who extinguished the fire on himself before helping his wife.

Sheahan was dragged to the bathroom, given a cold shower and then Griffiths took her outside and sprayed his wife with a hose.

The children who were trapped inside the house, including a 10-month-old and a two-year-old, were rescued by their older siblings before the entire home caught fire.

Emergency services heard Griffiths blaming Sheahan for the fire and telling her: "Why didn't you stop me, you should've stopped me and I should be in jail".

The woman, who was in the early stages of dying, lied to police for him, saying Griffiths tried to light himself on fire and when she tried to stop him she caught fire too.

Sheahan was taken to hospital with burns to 91 per cent of her body, but she died on March 18, 2022, four days after the blaze.

The day Griffiths was supposed to face trial, in February 2025, he indicated he wanted to plead guilty to murder and recklessly causing injury to his stepchild.

Justice John Champion labelled the murder a brutal example of the offence and pointed out his taunting of his victims who must have been "terrified".

He noted Griffiths' victim blaming of Sheahan after the offending was "particularly repugnant".

"I make it clear that Ms Sheahan was completely blameless, innocent and did not deserve the treatment you meted out to her at all," the judge said.

"Your attack on Ms Sheahan was grievously inappropriate."

Justice Champion jailed Griffiths for life, with 32 years to serve before he is eligible for parole.

Griffiths has spent more than 1300 days in custody as he has been in jail since his arrest in March 2022.

CCTV footage of alleged shooter Julian Ingram reporting for bail at a police station hours before three people were found dead in a town in NSW's central west has been released by police.

The footage comes as the search for the alleged Lake Cargelligo gunman nears one week.

Police have today revealed they believe the 37-year-old is still alive and possibly being assisted by someone.

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said high heat in the area meant police were actively searching for Ingram "in the most extraordinary conditions".

"This is the fifth day of over 40-degree temperatures, yet our police have been unwavering."

Police have been searching properties and public land, scouring an area the size of metropolitan Sydney, in the seven days since the shooting.

Officers have carried out more than 100 searches in vast country near Griffith.

Earlier today, police conducted a line search in Murrin Bridge on the Lachlan River, a known camping area about 12 kilometres out of town.

They are looking for any evidence that Ingram camped at the location, or the ute he was last seen driving.

Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said members of the public had been "very forthcoming with their information" following one confirmed sighting of the alleged offender at Mount Hope earlier this week.

"We believe that [Ingram] is still alive," Holland said.

"Our plan is to track him down and bring him forth before the courts."

Holland said Ingram's experience in the Lake Cargelligo area and in areas around Mount Hope while working with the council could be helping him evade police.

"He's aware where the water sources are, he's aware where the hidey holes are, such as caves."

Holland said that officers from the public order and riot squad are set to join the search this weekend.

He also said that police have not ruled out the potential of Ingram being assisted by a member of the community. 

"We will be confident to say that he is possibly receiving help from people he knows in the community.

"Given the temperatures involved, he has to have access to food and water.

"He's out and about and moving around.

"I would suggest that he is using a vehicle.

The NSW Police Commissioner has asked anybody who could be assisting Ingram to "think about the broader community".

"What he has [allegedly] committed here is an atrocity.

"What was certainly alleged is something that is completely unacceptable," Lanyon said.

Lanyon reassured the Lake Cargelligo community that the police force is behind them as the search for Ingram nears one week since three people were fatally shot.

"My commitment to you as the commissioner of the NSW Police is to keep you safe."

Lanyon said a significant policing presence will continue to oversee the rural town as authorities continue to scour the area.

The shoorting unfolded before 4.30pm on January 22, with police finding Ingram's ex-partner Sophie Quinn, 25, and her friend John Harris, 32, inside a car with gunshot wounds.

They were treated but died at the scene. Quinn was heavily pregnant and was due to give birth in March.

Shortly after, police responded to a second shooting at Walker Street in the same town.

Police found a 50-year-old woman and 19-year-old man shot in the driveway of a home.

The woman, who has been named as Sophie's aunt Nerida Quinn, died at the scene, while the man was taken to Canberra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Ingram is described as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander appearance, about 165cm-170cm tall, with a medium build, short dark hair and brown eyes.

The 37-year-old also has several tattoos on his arms.

Anyone who sees Ingram is being urged not to approach him and to contact police immediately.

Scarlett Hack was just 10 years old when she started experiencing a shortness of breath and heart palpitations.

Her symptoms were dismissed as anxiety, which she suffered with at the time, but her parents persisted and took her to several doctors before she was given an echocardiogram.

She was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart condition where the muscle thickens.

"The heart disease was spontaneous in me. My entire family doesn't have any record of it, only me," she told 9news.com.au. 

"After the doctor's appointment, my parents were told by the doctor, 'You should learn CPR as this has no cure'."

Hack's symptoms only worsened over the next three years until she was diagnosed with a second heart disease called arrhythmia burden disease – the time the heart spends in abnormal rhythm.

She fainted often, which caused her heart to stop each time, and eventually had an internal defibrillator installed.

During a doctor's appointment, her heart started racing and she went into cardiac arrest.

"I was screaming to my dad, 'Don't let me die, don't let me die'," she said.

"It was very traumatising."

Hack was in cardiac arrest for 40 minutes and then put on life support.

Her parents had two choices: let her go or wait for a heart donor.

"I only had two weeks to get it. If not, I'd be declared brain dead," she said.

"On the eighth day, my parents got the call at 2am, and they had a heart for me, and then I went into surgery at 7am."

Now aged 18, Hack is studying nursing so she can care for other children who may be in the same position she was in.

New data by the Heart Research Institute found 144,000 Australians are living with a deadly heart disease, which claims nine lives and causes 170 hospitalisations each day.

Of those who survive heart failure, 65 per cent return to the emergency department within a year.

Heart Research Institute chief executive Andrew Coats said many people were unaware their heart was failing to pump blood and oxygen around the body as it should.

"Heart disease can affect any one of us," he said.

"For too many Australians, it strikes without warning, taking the lives of loved ones far too soon."

Part of the issue is awareness.

Hack urged anyone with symptoms of heart disease to get themselves checked. 

"There's no harm in you getting checked out by a doctor," she said.

Nelson Rd is closed in both directions and diversions are in place.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon had stops in Hick’s Bay and Te Araroa.

The community gathered in Tauranga one week after the tragic landslip.

A politician's provocative campaign has reignited the debate to name heatwaves like meteorologists do cyclones, as the number of heat-related deaths continues to climb.

The Bureau of Meteorology picks out names for cyclones from a predetermined list for communication purposes – to raise public awareness and reduce confusion when there are several cyclones at once.

Spain was the first in the world to use the same method for heatwaves in 2022, which sparked calls to follow suit in Australia, where heatwaves lead to more deaths and hospital admissions annually than any other hazard.

Independent MP Monique Ryan has taken the push a step further, calling for heatwaves to be named after companies that produce coal and gas.

"Extreme heat is a health crisis and a communications failure … Every heatwave is a potential mass casualty event; by naming them, we can save Australian lives," she said.

UNSW researcher Samuel Cornell said while an approach to name heatwaves after climate polluters may detract from the public messaging, there was a case to name heatwaves.

"They are our greatest environmental threat in the sense of the number of lives that they take each year," he said.

"They're quite a silent killer. They're not a very visible natural hazard, unlike things like floods or cyclones.

"If you give something a name, it helps to stick in people's minds, it helps the media to report on it."

Australians are used to blistering temperatures, so what's the fuss all about?

A heatwave is more technical than just a spate of hot days.

The Bureau of Meteorology declares a heatwave when the maximum and minimum temperatures are unusually hot compared to the local climate over three days, and the mercury fails to adequately cool overnight.

These typically come with fire bans, as heatwaves create the perfect environment for bushfires. 

In the 10 years to 2022, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found extreme heat accounted for 293 deaths and 7104 hospitalisations. 

Cornell said some people can be unaware that there is a heatwave going on, like the elderly, who have worse thermal regulation and may not feel rising temperatures and take adequate precautions.

But the Bureau of Meteorology said it had no plans to start naming heatwaves. 

"This is due to the complex nature of heatwaves," a spokesperson said, pointing to the differing levels of severity, simultaneous heatwaves and changing conditions.

Others also believe naming heatwaves could be unnecessary. 

A UK study in 2025 found naming heatwaves had little effect on the perceived risk and did not encourage people to take safety precautions, while the World Meteorological Organisation found it misdirected public and media attention away from the people in danger.

But Cornell said the matter was still worth exploring as the climate crisis fuels more and more heatwaves.

The Earth experienced its third-hottest year on record and its warmest decade on record in 2025, according to the Copernicus annual global climate report.

CSIRO research engineer Dr Annette Stellema said rising temperatures around the world were leading to new heat records.

Just in the past week, a South Australian town and the state of Victoria recorded their hottest days on record. 

"Australia's climate has warmed by an average of 1.51 degrees since national records began in 1910, which has led to an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events," Stellema said.

"It's expected that in the coming decades, Australia will experience ongoing changes to its weather and climate, with a continued increase in air temperatures, with more heat extremes."
