Massive riots are again rocking the US after a police officer shot and killed a 20-year-old black man in the Minnesota city of Minneapolis, less than half an hour from where George Floyd was killed.
The region’s police chief stood by the police officer who fired the fatal shot, telling reporters she had accidentally confused her handgun with her taser.
“The officer drew their handgun instead of their taser,” Brooklyn Center police chief Tim Gannon said at a press conference about Sunday’s fatal shooting of Daunte Wright.
“This was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr Wright,” Mr Gannon said.
