The officer who shot Wright, Kim Potter, can be heard exclaiming in shock after the shooting in bodycam footage. The 26-year police veteran thought she was holding a Taser when she discharged her handgun, according to authorities.
She has resigned earlier Tuesday, along with Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon. Officials also fired former city manager Curt Boganey, who had authority over the police department, after he said all employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process, in response to Elliott calling for Potter’s firing earlier this week.
Gannon had made the decision earlier this week to release the bodycam video, against the advice of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
A report later concluded that Mr. Dimock-Heisler, who was described as mentally ill, had lunged at a police officer with a knife during a domestic disturbance call. Officer Potter advised each of the officers to go into separate squad cars, turn off their body cameras and not talk to each other, according to the report last year by the Hennepin County attorney. No charges were filed in the case.
Officer Potter’s husband, Jeffrey Potter, was also a police officer, serving in the Fridley Police Department in Minnesota for 28 years until his retirement in 2017. According to a community newsletter, Mr. Potter was an instructor in the department, training officers in use of force, Taser use and crowd control.
