How the Royal family mourns
 THE BIG STORY
The cop who killed Daunte Wright meant to tase him but accidentally fired her gun, police said
On Sunday, police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota shot and killed Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man. Officials said the officer who shot him meant to use her Taser but accidentally fired her gun.
Authorities said the driver was pulled over for a traffic violation, but then officers learned there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest. In a news conference Monday, body camera footage of the incident was shown for the first time.
The footage shows Wright outside his car as authorities attempt to arrest him. He then suddenly tries to reenter the vehicle, prompting a struggle with officers. "I'll tase ya," a woman officer warns Wright as he tries to kick her.
"Taser, Taser, Taser!" the officer can be heard saying in the video. "Oh shit! I just shot him."
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told reporters he believes the officer meant to reach for her Taser, but instead grabbed her gun. The officer was identified as Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the police department. She is on administrative leave pending an independent investigation.

Perez Hilton and Lainey Gossip were famous for their mean blogs. Now they're trying to change.
Perez Hilton and Elaine "Lainey" Lui, two famed celebrity gossip bloggers, once shared celebrity news and gossip with gleeful viciousness. At the height of the celebrity blog popularity, their sites drew millions of page views.

The cruel jokes that once made these bloggers popular now make them cancellable, and they're both addressing their audiences in drastically different ways."
