Daunte Wright, 20, was shot and killed on Sunday during a traffic stop by a Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer who allegedly meant to use her Taser instead. The Brooklyn Center police chief said the department assessed that the officer, Kim Potter, mistook her firearm for a stun gun based on body camera footage and the fact that she appeared to shout “Taser!” before firing.
