A white police officer convicted of killing a Black man after mistaking her gun for a Taser has been released from jail.
Kim Potter, the Minnesota police officer who mistook her gun for a Taser and killed Daunte Wright in 2021, was released from prison early Monday.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections said Potter was set free around 4am "out of an abundance of caution." The department confirmed Friday she would be released Monday but declined to say what time out of security concerns.
