Biden calls for 'peace and calm' after Daunte Wright shooting sparks protests in Minnesota

President Joe Biden called for "peace and calm" on Monday following an evening of protests after a police officer in a Minneapolis suburb shot and killed a 20-year-old Black man during a traffic stop.

Biden called the shooting death of Daunte Wright on Sunday "a really tragic thing" and said he watched "fairly graphic" body camera footage from the officer who fired the fatal shot.

"The question is was it an accident? Was it intentional?" Biden told reporters at the White House. "That remains to be determined by a full-blown investigation."

"I think we've got to wait and see what the investigation shows – and the entire investigation," he said.

Biden stressed there is "absolutely no justification" for looting and violence.
