The police chief, Tim Gannon, described the shooting of 20-year-old Dante Wright as an accidental discharge. Wright died Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a city of about 30,000 people just north of Minneapolis. His death sparked protests yet again and unrest with officers in riot gear clashing again with demonstrators Monday night.
