Police in Madison, Wisconsin say a man is fatally shot by an officer after a physical struggle in which the man allegedly injured the officer with a knife. Multiple outlets report the shooting occurs on a city street near the Wisconsin state Capitol area. According to Madison Police Chief John Patterson, officers respond to a report before the incident, including one description that someone was “checking vehicle doors.” NBC News and others say officers were investigating the report at the time of the encounter. The Guardian reports the incident takes place in a popular neighborhood with shops, bars, restaurants, and homes, and that cellphone footage of the shooting circulates online. Patterson acknowledges the shooting at a news conference but says the circulating video reflects only one perspective of events. Several reports also note the officer’s actions spark protests locally. The outlets are consistent that the man was shot and killed and that the confrontation involved an alleged knife and resistance during arrest or attempted detention.
