Potter, along with other officers, pulled the 20-year-old over for a traffic stop where a struggle ensued outside of the vehicle and Wright attempted to get back inside of his car.<\/p>\n<p>While reaching for her taser, the former officer said she mistakenly grabbed her gun killing Wright. She now faces manslaughter charges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were struggling. We were trying to keep him from driving away. It just went chaotic,\u201d Potter testified. \u201cAnd then I remember yelling \u2018taser, taser, taser,\u2019 and nothing happened. And then he told me I shot him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Potter said she\u2019s never deployed her taser throughout her 26-year career on the force, but confirmed it has been drawn. After testifying for about two hours, Potter stepped down from the witness stand. Meanwhile, the trial is set to resume on Monday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2616328\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2616328\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2616328\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/daunte-655x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"TOPSHOT - Flowers, candles and placards are seen at a makeshift memorial in honor of Daunte Wright, who was shot dead by a police officer in Minneapolis, in Washington Square, New York on April 17, 2021. - Kim Potter, the police officer who shot dead Black 20-year-old Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb after appearing to mistake her gun for her Taser was arrested on April 14 on manslaughter charges.
