Ohio: Ohio Police on Tuesday shot and killed a man who was wielding knives near the Republican National Convention (RNC), officers said, days after US presidential candidate Donald Trump survive an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
In a separate incident on Monday, a man wearing a ski mask and carrying an “AK-47 pistol” was arrested near the site of the RNC by Capitol Police officers and Homeland Security Investigations.
The Ohio police team, which was in Wisconsin for the convention, recovered two knives from the man shot dead just blocks away from the RNC. Five members of the Columbus, Ohio, police department fired on the man, who had a knife in each hand, refused police commands and charged at an unarmed man before police fired, Milwaukee Chief Jeffrey Norman said at a news conference.
The suspect was a homeless man who was mentally distressed, reported the New York Post. Eyewitnesses heard eight shots fired and some said that the man was shot in the back as he attempted to run away from the security forces.
