Daunte Wright Shooting: Minnesota Officer Meant to Draw Taser, Not Handgun, Police Chief Says – NBC Chicago

Gannon said at a news conference that the officer made a mistake, and he released body camera footage from the officer who fired. The footage showed three officers around a stopped car. When one of the officers attempts to handcuff Wright, a struggle ensues and Wright can be seen re-entering the driver side of the car. The officer is heard shouting “Taser!” several times before firing her weapon. It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet, Gannon said Monday.  This was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright.
