Pittsburghers Protest Police Shooting Of Daunte Wright In Minnesota
PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) -- Dozens of people gathered in East Liberty for a rally for Daunte Wright.
The protesters gathered peacefully at the corner of Centre and Penn avenues on Tuesday before marching to Point Breeze and back to Centre and Penn avenues.
The protesters made a stop outside of Mayor Bill Peduto's house for about 20 minutes while in Point Breeze.
The protest ended around 9:15 p.m, and officials say there were no arrests.
Wright, 20, was shot and killed by Officer Kim Potter during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb over the weekend. Police Chief Tim Gannon has said he believed Potter mistakenly grabbed her gun when she was going for her Taser. Potter and Gannon have both resigned.
Sunday's shooting happened as the Minneapolis area was already on edge over the trial of former Officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged in George Floyd's death.
