Daunte Wright, 20, died yesterday outside Minneapolis because a police officer inadvertently shot him with a pistol instead of a taser, local authorities said.

• "This appears to me, from what I viewed in the officer's reaction and distress immediately after, that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Wright," Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told reporters.

The big picture: State and local officials planned to ramp up the National Guard's presence in anticipation of a potential second night of protests.

• The Minnesota Twins postponed today's game against the Boston Red Sox out of respect for the "tragic events."
• The area will be under a 7pm CST curfew starting tonight.

Body camera video released by police shows Wright trying to get back into his car during an encounter with officers.

• The officer was heard warning "I'll tase ya" as she drew a firearm and pointed it at Wright.
• She then shouted "taser! taser!" before Wright recoiled and drove the car forward.
• The officer then told fellow officers, "I shot him."
• In his remarks, Gannon said officers are trained to shout “taser!” before using one. This warns both fellow officers and suspects that its use is imminent.

What's next: The officer has been placed on administrative leave during an independent investigation. The city's mayor has called for the officer to be fired, and Gannon pleaded for patience during the ongoing criminal investigation.
