The 20-year-old was fatally shot after Wright made an apparent attempt to resist arrest, according to bodycam footage of the altercation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Officials said that Potter, who submitted a resignation letter to the city Tuesday, will be formally charged with second-degree manslaughter later Wednesday, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/14\/us\/kim-potter-charged-daunte-wright.html?action=click&amp;module=Alert&amp;pgtype=Homepage\"><span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span>. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrested Potter on Wednesday morning, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2021\/04\/14\/daunte-wright-kim-potter-charging-decision-brooklyn-center\/7217843002\/\">USA Today<\/a>, citing a spokesperson for the bureau.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> In Minnesota, a second-degree manslaughter conviction carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tim Gannon, the former police chief for Brooklyn Center, said Monday that he believed Potter had fired her gun accidentally. In video footage of the incident, a female officer can be heard saying \u201ctaser!\u201d repeatedly before firing the gun, and the saying \u201cOh sh**\u201d when she appears to realize what happened. The car reportedly drove off with Wright and a female passenger inside before coming to a stop several blocks away.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs you can hear, the officer, while struggling with Mr. Wright yells \u2018Taser! Taser!\u2019 several times. That is part of the officer\u2019s training prior to deploying a Taser, which is a less lethal device,\u201d Gannon told reporters on Monday, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/explainer-officer-gun-taser-77031088\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> ABC News. \u201cAs I watch the video and listen to the officer\u2019s commands, it is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Hennepin County Medical Examiner announced Tuesday that they had determined that Wright died of a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n<p><span>Mayor Mike Elliot announced on Tuesday that Gannon had resigned, but the mayor declined to share the specific reason for it. Potter also submitted a letter of resignation to the city, which simply read: \u201cI have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department, and my fellow officers if I resign immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
