OThe officers involved in the incident are from the Columbus, Ohio, department and were in Milwaukee because they are part of the 4,500 officers helping local authorities protect the city during the convention, which ends on Thursday, a police source told The New York Post.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, citing police sources, said the shooting occurred near North 14th and West Vliet streets, outside the security perimeter of the convention, which is being held at Fiserv Stadium in this Wisconsin city.
A local television station, WISN 12 News, cited witnesses as saying there was a fight between two men in the city’s King Park neighborhood and that police shot and killed one of the men.
Police officers were patrolling on bicycles and encountered a man with a knife and at least three officers opened fire.
A video allegedly related to these events began circulating on social media.
