Ohio police officers who were in Milwaukee to help with security at the Republican National Convention shot and killed a man Tuesday who local authorities said had knives in both hands and was trying to attack another man. Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman told reporters the officers from Columbus, Ohio, saw a man with two knives involved in an altercation with an unarmed man and went to intervene. The suspect refused commands to drop the knives and charged the other man, the chief said, and five officers opened fire, killing the assailant. “Someone’s life was in danger,” Norman said at the news conference. “These officers, who are not from this area, took (it) upon themselves to act to save someone’s life today.” Two knives were recovered at the scene, Norman said. Authorities believe the initial altercation was not related to the convention. Columbus Division of Police Chief Elaine Bryant said in a statement the shooting happened on the convention’s outer security perimeter, within the zone to which their officers were assigned.
