Ohio Police Shoot Armed Man Near RNC

Ohio police officers in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention fatally shot a man who was armed with two knives and charged at another person. The man, identified as Samuel Sharpe Jr., was shot after refusing police commands to drop his weapons. Body camera footage shows officers running toward the confrontation and opening fire when Sharpe lunged at an unarmed man. The incident, which occurred about a mile from the convention site, has sparked local outrage and questions about the necessity of out-of-state officers in the community. Columbus Mayor Anthony J. Ginther defended the officers' actions, citing their duty to prevent harm. Milwaukee residents, however, criticized the increased police presence and held a vigil to mourn Sharpe's death.
