Just saw a similar story, also short on details. But apparently the guy had a knife, or multiple knives?
Officer was on loan from the Columbus, OH police dept. I know Milwaukee is sharing with multiple Illinois agencies for both the RNC and the DNC, didn't realize they were brining officers in from as far away as Columbus (approx 7 hour drive).

MILWAUKEE —
Police officers from Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed a man Tuesday afternoon near 14th and Vliet streets in Milwaukee, which is about 1 mile from Fiserv Forum, the main RNC venue.
Witnesses told WISN 12 News two homeless men were fighting in King Park, and one of them pulled a knife out. The witnesses said the men were startled when so many officers responded. Witnesses say the man with the knife was fired on by numerous officers. This has not yet been confirmed by police.
There is a large police presence, including the Secret Service, at the scene. Beloit police are helping to secure the park.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed at 2:50 p.m. that it was called to the scene.
A statement from the Columbus Fraternal Order of Police says no officers were injured.
Police from 63 departments in 24 states and Washington, D.C., along with 44 Wisconsin agencies are in Milwaukee this week for the Republican National Convention.
WISN 12 News Political Director Matt Smith talked to Mayor Cavalier Johnson at the RNC who said he was just being briefed on the situation.
The incident itself does not appear to be related to the RNC and was outside the security zone.
According to WISN 12 News sources, the police line has been expanded to 17th and Vliet streets.
WISN 12 News has crews at the scene and is working to get more information.
