Police fire tear gas at protesters after officer fatally shoots black man just 10 miles from where George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, UPDATE: Nat’l Guard called in
2021-04-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Daunte Wright, 20, was shot by a Brooklyn Center police officer on Sunday during a routine traffic stop

  • Police have not specified whether or not Wright was armed at the time of his death

  • Officers pulled over Wright for a traffic violation and determined that he had an outstanding warrant

  • Brooklyn Center Police officers then tried to arrest him but Wright 're-entered the vehicle'

  • One officer discharged their firearm, striking Wright while the vehicle continued to travel for several blocks before crashing into another car - Wright died while still inside the vehicle

  • Wright's mother Katie claimed her son had called her while being pulled over to get insurance information because the vehicle had just been given to him

  • Wright's mother said her son told her he had pulled over for having an air freshener hanging from rear view mirror, which is illegal in Minnesota

  • Around 500 protestors took to the streets on Sunday night as they clashed with police outside the precinct

  • Police deployed tear gas and flash-bang grenades to clear demonstrators who gathered outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department

  • The National Guard was called in and a curfew was imposed to quell angry demonstrations
