Fox News
Kim Potter, the former suburban Minneapolis police officer who allegedly shot and killed Daunte Wright when she mistook her gun for her taser, will testify at her trial, one of her defense attorneys said during the first day of jury selection on Tuesday.
Potter was attempting to arrest Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, in April during a traffic stop. Wright initially obeyed orders but tried to get back into his car as officers were handcuffing him, body camera footage shows.
"I’ll tase ya," Potter said before pulling out her handgun and repeating again, "I’ll tase you."
About two seconds later, Potter fired one shot into Wright's chest as she said, "Taser Taser Taser."
