President Joe Biden called for peace following news of Wright’s death. Speaking to the press at the Oval Office Sunday, Biden described the event as “tragic” and added that he has yet to speak to Wright’s family on the phone. Wright was shot and killed by a police officer upon getting pulled over close to the Brooklyn Center in Minneapolis. The place was 14 miles north where George Floyd was killed in 2020 by police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for nine minutes.
