A fatal police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, sparked protests and a heated confrontation during a Thursday news conference. Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Common Council President Sabrina Madison identified the man killed as Corey Ruiz, a homeless resident. Police said Ruiz resisted arrest and injured an officer with a knife before officers fired. 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.
