The police officer who fatally shot a 20-year-old Black man during a traffic stop may have intended to fire a Taser, the city's police chief said Monday.
The department released dramatic bodycam footage of the incident, which has rocked the Minneapolis suburb miles from where George Floyd was killed during a police arrest last May.
Daunte Wright was shot once and died after the traffic stop Sunday, Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said. Body camera footage released during a news conference shows two other officers approaching Wright's car and the officer who fired the shot standing behind them.
As the officer on the driver side of the vehicle began to handcuff Wright, he broke free, a struggle ensued and Wright jumped back into the driver's seat. An officer threatened to tase him, shouting, "Taser!" before shooting Wright. The car drove away, traveling several blocks before hitting another vehicle.
