Madison Police Chief John Patterson was interrupted by protesters yesterday afternoon who took over the news conference called to update the public after an officer involved shooting killed a man.
The thinness of trust in the city right now did not start.
Well, we just shut this down.
You can stop talking because we don't want to hear anything you've been saying.
You're going to say the same thing you all say every time a black body gets shot down in this city.
Police say the man was shot after showing a knife while scuffling with officers who were trying to arrest him Wednesday.
Madison's Common Council President Sabrina Madison says she wants a full, transparent investigation.
I'm angry.
There's like no way around it.
And
while we know that there will be investigations and all of that.
The thing for me is that his death is final.
Four officers, including the one who fired the shot, are on administrative leave while Wisconsin's Department of Justice investigates.
A $2,500 reward is now being offered to help police find whoever is responsible for shooting a dog more than eight times in Chano County.
As we reported earlier in the week, the brown mixed breed dog, now named Sunny, was found in Maple Grove earlier this month.
Sunny had more than eight gunshot wounds, a broken leg, and multiple broken ribs.
Sheriff's deputies say it appears the dog was shot several days before he was finally found on July 15th.
The Center for Humane Economy and the Wisconsin Puppy Milk Project announced a $2,500 reward yesterday for information that leads to an arrest.
Investigators say any piece of information, no matter how small, could prove valuable.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Chano County Sheriff's Office.
Sunny is currently recovering at the Chano County Humane Society and already has a loving home lined up once he is medically cleared.
A court ruling could restore stability for Wisconsin programs that lost funding under federal cuts.
A judge says the Trump administration overstepped by canceling grants based on shifting priorities.
State leaders say tens of millions of dollars were affected, including support for farmers, unemployment systems, and university research.
The lawsuit was filed by Wisconsin and other states.
Federal officials argued they had authority, but the court disagreed.
Senator Tammy Baldwin wants the Army to release its report on the Iranian attack in Kuwait that killed six U.S.
service members in March.
Baldwin says families of the fallen, along with Congress, should be told what the investigation found and what changes are being made.
The attack targeted a U.S.
tactical center and was one of the deadliest strikes on American troops in the conflict.
Democrats have been pushing for more oversight.
And that's your state news update.
