Police said Monday that they believe the officer thought she was firing her taser when she shot the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The police department said in a press release that officers determined that the suspect had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Reporter Andy Ngo highlighted the alleged charges that Wright was wanted on, including running from law enforcement and a weapons charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt one point as officers were attempting to take the driver into custody, the driver re-entered the vehicle. One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,\u201d police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rioters-smash-police-cars-vandalize-police-station-in-minneapolis-while-looters-storm-businesses-following-police-shooting\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle. Officers in pursuit and responding medical personnel attempted life saving measures, but the person died at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.1613832853026\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Update: Here is body cam footage showing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DuanteWright?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DuanteWright<\/a> trying to escape an arrest &amp; getting shot by a female officer.
