Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright, prosecutors said.
Washington County Attorney Pete Orput on Wednesday charged the officer with second-degree manslaughter for culpable negligence creating an unreasonable risk. Orput took over the prosecution earlier this week at the request of Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman.
Wright, a 20-year-old motorist, was killed while apparently trying to flee officers during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center.
Potter apparently believed she was holding a stun gun, or Taser, at the time. In fact, she was holding a firearm. Bodycam video shows her shooting Wright with a single bullet to the side of his chest.
