Five Ohio police officers in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention shot at a man who was wielding two knives near the convention, killing him, said Milwaukee's police chief.
Milwaukee Chief Jeffrey Norman said Tuesday at a news conference that the man who police shot had a knife in each hand and refused police commands.
Thousands of officers from multiple jurisdictions are in Milwaukee providing additional security for the convention.
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.
A vigil is being held for the man tonight in Milwaukee.
