Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center Police Department officer identified as having fatally shot Daunte Wright after shouting “taser,” will be facing a more severe charge, in addition to the second-degree manslaughter count that she was charged with earlier this year.
Potter, who was 48 at the time of the incident, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter. According to The Associated Press, the charge can carry a maximum of 15 years in prison. Second-degree manslaughter, however, only has a 10-year maximum.
