Madison Police Shooting: Protester interrupts press conference

A protester interrupted a police press conference after police shot and killed a man armed with a knife in Madison, WI.

Eventually, the apparent leader of the protest group took the microphone.

The fatal confrontation drew national attention as graphic video circulated across social media.

"Yesterday, a young man, a young member of our community, died after an encounter with one of our officers. He was in his 30s," Police Chief John Patterson said. "I know he had a family who cared for him. I know he had a community who cared for him. His family is grieving today. And our entire community, I believe, is grieving alongside them."

Public officials and others have now identified Corey Ruiz as the man who was killed.

MORE INFORMATION:
Police said officers were initially called for reports that someone was stealing bicycles and checking vehicle doors in Madison's Marquette neighborhood on July 22. They found the man, but he rode away on a bicycle.

Officers spotted the man again in the area of Baldwin and Williamson, a little more than a mile northeast of the Capitol, at around 1:35 p.m. Police said the man "fell or was pulled off the bicycle, this is still being determined." There was then a struggle in the middle of the inspection between the man and officers.

During the struggle, police said the man pulled out a knife and injured an officer. Officers tried using a taser to take the man into custody, but they were unsuccessful. The injured officer then shot the man.
