Ohio police officers who were in Milwaukee to assist with security at the Republican National Convention were involved in a fatal shooting on Tuesday. The incident occurred when officers from Columbus, Ohio, witnessed a 43-year-old man wielding knives and attempting to attack another individual.
Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman stated at a news conference that the officers intervened after observing the armed man in a confrontation with an unarmed individual. Despite commands to drop the knives, the suspect charged at the other man, prompting five officers to open fire and ultimately kill the assailant.
