Hundreds of protesters marched through Brooklyn Center on Tuesday, to demand justice for Daunte Wright, a Black man who was fatally shot by a police officer on Sunday.

Protesters held banners supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and chanted slogans such as "we are here to shut this shit down."

Wright, 20, was killed on Sunday after being pulled over for a traffic violation. A struggle ensued before he tried to get back into his car.

Wright was shot by officer Kim Potter and was later pronounced dead.

Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department subsequently announced her resignation on Tuesday, as did police chief Tim Gannon.

A police statement released on Monday said the incident was an accident, as the officer had intended to use a taser, not a gun, on Wright.

Protests and unrest have followed in the wake of the incident.
