So, from what I see: the officer was justified in using the level of force she thought that she was applying, based on the circumstances, but due to her gross and inexcusable negligence she mistook her firearm for the taser and caused the death of the subject. Under MN law it looks like 2nd degree Manslaughter.
609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:
(1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another
