MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A police sergeant who was at the scene when Daunte Wright was shot testified Friday that he was holding Wright's right arm with both hands to prevent the 20-year-old from driving away when he heard Officer Kim Potter yell “Taser, Taser, Taser!” followed by a pop.

Kimberly Potter, who was a police officer in the city of Brooklyn Center just north of Minneapolis, has pleaded not guilty to first- and second-degree manslaughter charges. Her lawyers have said Potter, 49, mistakenly used her handgun instead of her stun gun in the death of Wright, a 20-year-old shot during a traffic stop.
