at 11:37 am NPR
Officials in Brooklyn Center, Minn., called the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, the result of an accidental discharge of a gun by a police officer.

The Hennepin County medical examiner has made a determination that the death was a homicide.
At a press conference Monday, Brooklyn Center police Chief Tim Gannon played body camera footage of the shooting, saying its circumstances demanded transparency. It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet, Gannon said. This appears to me, from what I ve viewed and the officer s reaction and distress immediately after, that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Wright.
