Investigations Continue Into Two More Fatal Police Shootings In The U.S.

The former police officer who shot dead a black man in the state of Minnesota has appeared in court charged with second-degree manslaughter.

Kim Potter claims she killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright by accident when she drew her gun instead of her Taser.
She's due back in court next month, if convicted she faces up to 10 years in prison

Meanwhile Police in Chicago have released video from the bodycam of an officer who shot and killed a 13-year old boy last month. In it, the policeman can be seen chasing Adam Toledo down an alley - he's then fired at before colleagues start performing emergency first aid.
An independent board is now investigating the shooting.
