在给市政官员的一封信中，波特写道，“我热爱当警察的每一分钟，尽我所能为这个社区服务，但我相信，如果我立即辞职，这符合社区、部门和我的同事的最佳利益。”
市长说，“我们没有要求她辞职，那是她做出的决定。”
埃利奥特在晚上晚些时候说，他还没有接受波特的辞职。
“我们仍在通过自己的流程进行工作，并确保采取必要的措施...接受辞职，”他告诉美国广播公司新闻。“这么说吧，我的团队正在评估当前的情况，非常复杂。”
莱特是一个2岁男孩的父亲，他周日下午在明尼阿波利斯西北约10英里的布鲁克林中心开车时被警察拦住。甘农说，警察最初因他车上过期的车牌而将他拦下，但在交通堵塞期间确定他有一张未兑现的严重轻罪逮捕令。

甘农周一告诉记者，“然而，这名警察拔出了手枪，而不是泰瑟枪。”。“我认为，这名军官有意部署他们的泰瑟枪，但却用一颗子弹打死了莱特先生。在我看来，从我的观察和军官的反应和痛苦之后，这似乎是一个意外放电，导致莱特先生的悲剧死亡。”
视频里可以听到波特在喊“天哪，我刚打中他了!”
莱特的姑姑奈莎·莱特(Nyesha Wright)周二告诉记者，“我希望他们在法律允许的最大范围内拘留她。”
“因为她是法律，”奈莎·赖特继续说道。“她应该保护和服务。”
明尼苏达州公共安全部的刑事逮捕局正在调查。

波特的律师厄尔·格雷周二没有进一步置评。
Officer who shot, killed Daunte Wright and Brooklyn Center police chief both resign
Police officer Kim Potter resigned from her position Tuesday after shooting and killingDaunte Wright,a 20-year-old Black man, at a traffic stop on Sunday, officials in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, announced.
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon also submitted his resignation Tuesday, Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott announced at a press conference.
Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, submitted her resignation effective immediately.
In a letter to city officials, Potter wrote, "I have loved every minute of being a police officer and serving this community to the best of my ability, but I believe it is in the best interest of the community, the department, and my fellow officers if I resign immediately."
The mayor said, "We did not ask her to resign, that was a decision she made."
Elliot said later in the evening that he had not yet accepted Potter's resignation.
"We're still working through our own processes, and making sure that we take the steps that are necessary to ... accept the resignation," he told ABC News. "Let's just say my team is evaluating the current circumstances, which are very complex."
Wright, father to a 2-year-old boy, was driving in Brooklyn Center, about 10 miles northwest of Minneapolis, when he was stopped by police Sunday afternoon. The officers initially pulled him over for an expired registration tag on his car but determined during the traffic stop that he had an outstanding gross misdemeanor warrant, Gannon said.
As police tried to take him into custody, Wright got back into the car and Potter fired her gun, striking him.Gannon said Potter intended to deploy her Taserinstead of her gun when she "accidentally" shot Wright.
In body camera video, which was released at a Monday press conference, Gannon said Potter could be heard warning Wright that she was going to deploy her Taser.
"However, the officer drew their handgun instead of their Taser," Gannon told reporters Monday. "It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser, but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me, from what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after, that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Wright."
Potter can be heard in the video yelling, "Holy s---, I just shot him!"
Wright's aunt, Nyesha Wright, told reporters Tuesday, "I hope that they hold her at the highest extent of the law."
"Because she was the law," Nyesha Wright continued. "She is supposed to protect and serve."
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating.
Themayor tweeted Tuesdaythat he's asking the governor to reassign the case to the Minnesota attorney general's office to "ensure transparency."
Commander Tony Gruenig has been named acting police chief. He's been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for 19 years, according to the mayor.
Potter's attorney, Earl Gray, had no further comment Tuesday.
