MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s police chief says 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. 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. Two knives were recovered from the scene, the chief said.

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.
