The jury for the trial of a suburban Minneapolis police officer charged in Daunte Wright's shooting death was more than halfway complete after two days of jury selection.

Nine people were seated heading into Thursday's round of jury selection for Kim Potter, 49, who is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 shooting of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, following a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center.

The five jurors seated Wednesday included a woman who said she owns a stun gun. She was asked whether she could set aside what she knows about her own device -- one she said she has never used -- and she said she could. Also seated was a woman who said she thought protests against police in the Minneapolis area have had a negative effect because of the property damage some have caused. She also said she somewhat disagrees with the idea of defunding the police, saying, "You're always going to need police officers."

Attorneys and the judge have probed potential jurors for what they knew about Wright's death and about their views of protests against police brutality that were frequent in Minneapolis even before George Floyd's death.
