Five Ohio police officers in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention shot at a man who was in a knife fight near the convention, killing him, police say
MILWAUKEE — Ohio police officers in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention shot and killed a man who was wielding two knives near the convention, Milwaukee's police chief said Tuesday.
Several officers then yell"Drop the knife!" as they run toward two men standing in a street. When the armed man moved toward the unarmed man, police fired their weapons. The shooting fueled anger from residents who questioned why out-of-state officers were in their neighborhood located about a mile from the convention site.
"They came into our community and shot down our family right here at a public park," said Linda Sharpe, a cousin of the man who was killed."What are you doing in our city, shooting people down?" David Porter, who said he knew Samuel Sharpe and is also homeless, was angry that officers from outside of Milwaukee were in his neighborhood.
