Five stories to know for April 14: The Daunte Wright shooting, officer who shot Jacob Blake returns to duty, Derek Chauvin's trial, U.S. troops in Afghanistan and China terms military exercises near Taiwan 'combat drills.'

1. A suburban Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright during a scuffle following a routine traffic stop and the police chief who called the slaying an apparent accident both resigned.

2. A white policeman cleared of criminal wrongdoing after shooting Jacob Blake in the back last August in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has returned to duty.

3. Defense attorneys in the murder trial of Derek Chauvin called an expert witness who testified that the former Minneapolis police officer was justified and reasonable in his use of force during his arrest of George Floyd.

4. Joe Biden’s planned announcement of a complete U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 aims to close the book on America’s longest war.

5. China described its military exercises near Taiwan as “combat drills,” upping the ante as senior former U.S. officials arrived in Taipei on a trip to signal Biden’s commitment to Taiwan.
