“#Officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright identified<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Minnesota police officer who fatally shot a black man during a Sunday traffic stop has been identified as 26-year veteran Kimberly Potter.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old officer\u2019s identity was released Monday night by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal App<\/a>rehension.<\/p>\n

Potter acquired her Minnesota police officer\u2019s license in 1995 and the age of 22 and began working for the Brooklyn Center Police Department shortly after, according to state records reviewed by the Star Tribune<\/a>, who first named the officer.<\/p>\n

During her career, Potter has served on the department\u2019s negotiation team, the news<\/a>paper reported.<\/p>\n

Potter has been placed on administrative leave following the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Time Gannon has said the officer mistook her gun for a Taser.<\/p>\n

Police bodycam footage released Monday shows the officer yelling \u201cTaser! Taser!\u201d as others struggled with Wright in his car.<\/p>\n

The video shows Wright stepping out of his car, then leaping back behind the wheel and driving off.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoly s\u2013t,\u201d the officer is heard saying on the video. \u201cI just shot him!\u201d<\/p>\n

Potter is married to a former police officer. She has two adult sons, according to the Tribune.<\/p>\n

In August 2019, she was one the first responding officers to the police shooting of Kobe Dimock-Heisler, the report said.<\/p>\n

Two officers involved in the shooting were told by Potter to \u201cto exit the residence, get into separate squad cars, turn off their body worn cameras, and to not talk to each other,\u201d according to a Hennepin County Attorney\u2019s Office investigative report.<\/p>\n
