Charges are expected to be filed against Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center, Minnesota police officer who shot and killed 20-year old Daunte Wright at a traffic stop on Sunday. Potter, and her police chief both resigned Tuesday afternoon.
“The Washington County Attorney says he is reviewing the Kim Potter case file Tuesday and charges are expected Wednesday,” Fox 9 reports.
KSTP confirms, reporting: “Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the Washington County Attorney’s Office is planning on charging former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter on Wednesday.”
At a contentious press conference Monday now-former police chief Tim Gannon told reporters Potter mistakenly shot Wright, thinking she was holding her taser instead of her handgun.
“I’m believing it to be an accidental discharge,” Gannon said.
It is not yet known what the charges will include.
