It begin when a pair of police officers stopped two people driving through the north-side neighborhood, police said. That led to a foot chase between the people in the car and police, which ended when an officer shot one of the two -- a 23-year-old man who was armed with a handgun, authorities said.
The
police officer "ordered that individual to drop his gun, the individual
did not drop his gun," Barrett said during a news conference later in
the day. "He had the gun with him and the officer fired several times."
The
man died at the scene. It was unclear Sunday morning whether the second
occupant of the car was in police custody. The officer who fired the
fatal shots was not injured and will be placed on administrative duty
during an investigation.
The
officer who fired the deadly shots is 24 years old and has six years of
service with the Milwaukee Police Department -- three as an officer.
Police provided no further details on the identities of the officer or
the occupants of the car.
Was this justified or just another American unjust tragedy?
