Exactly led to the fatal shots. 3 chaos erupts. And dozens of people block the streets. After hearing that police shot and killed an armed man this afternoon. That man is a 23 year old male from milwaukee with a lengthy arrest record. The gun at the scene that were recovering, was stolen at a burglary in i believe waukesha along with 500 rounds of ammunition. Police say two officers stopped twom suspects got out of the car and ran. Officers chased and then shot the 23 yearold man. Who died on scene. Eugene mckinley lives across the street from the crime scene. And heard the shots ring out. Theres still no reason for why theres no tasing. No other way you can apprehena person without having to shoot and kill them. I dont understand that at all in the community. Police say the officer who fired the shots is 24 years old and has been with the department for six years. 23 year old man is in custody. I know that people have a lot of questions and were going to get it out to meanwhile. Tears
