Deadly Madison police shooting sparks protests, state investigation

The mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, is urging calm after a deadly police shooting sparked protests and a state investigation

Demonstrations broke out after bystander video captured the fatal police shooting of 38-year-old Corey Ruiz during a confrontation with officers Wednesday

Ruiz is identified as black or Latino in Wisconsin court records. Police say he pulled a knife during a struggle with officers, injuring one of them before an officer opened fire

Police had responded to the scene after reports of a man trying to open doors of parked cars

On Thursday, about 20 protesters interrupted a police news conference, with one taking the microphone from Chief John Patterson and clashing with others who wanted to hear details about the investigation

Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes Conway says the shooting will receive a full independent review

This is incredibly difficult moment for the Madison community, and I understand the very strong emotions that people are feeling. I'm feeling them too

As a city as a community as a society we have to do better I want to be clear

It does not matter who you are or what your past is

You should not lose your life as a result of an encounter with law enforcement

The department has placed the four officers involved on administrative leave, while the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation leads the shooting probe
