Kimberly Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright after mistakenly drawing her gun instead of her Taser, will be charged with second-degree manslaughter, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Wright’s death also is under review by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
