'Heartbroken' Timberwolves resume play as athletes react to turmoil in Minneapolis
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."
