Fatal police shooting of man with knife roils Madison, Wisconsin

A fatal police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, sparked protests and a heated confrontation during a Thursday news conference.

Four officers involved were placed on administrative leave, and the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation is reviewing the case. Protesters argued videos circulating online show excessive force, but the police chief said footage reflects only one perspective.
