An investigation by our sister-station, KARE 11, reminds us of another high-profile case. Author: A.J. Lagoe, Steve Eckert Published: 11:34 PM EDT April 12, 2021 Updated: 8:21 AM EDT April 13, 2021
ROCHESTER, Minn. A KARE 11 investigation finds that Sunday’s fatal shooting of Daunte Wright is not the first time a Minnesota police officer has claimed to have mistakenly fired their gun instead of a Taser.
During a new conference Monday, Brooklyn Center police released bodycam footage which showed a veteran officer announcing “Taser, Taser” before firing a gunshot that killed Wright.
Police Chief Tim Gannon told reporters he believes the shooting was accidental.
Nearly two decades ago, another Black man was shot – once again at point blank range – by a Rochester officer who claimed he made a huge mistake.

“What? Nah boy. We go dead boy,” said San Fernando/Port-of-Spain taxi driver Astil Hills after learning about the Government’s consideration to remove super gasoline from the fuel market.
While the Cabinet reviewed the proposal, it will make a decision by the end if the year after assessing the liberalisation of the fuel market. But it could be the second phasing out of cheaper fuels in the last three years. With the closure of the Pointe-a-Pierre Refinery in 2018, there was no more production of regular gasoline. The Government decided against importing the low octane fuel due to low demands.
