Madison police shooting of Corey Ruiz sparks protests, state probe

What's next: Wisconsin's Division of Criminal Investigation is handling an independent homicide case as videos of the arrest spread online.

Hundreds of people gathered in Madison, Wisconsin, after police shot and killed Corey Ruiz during an arrest, with protesters disrupting a police news conference and calling for officers to be jailed. Police said Ruiz injured at least one officer with a knife as four officers tried to restrain him, and video from bystanders appeared to show an officer firing three times at close range after a Taser failed. Ruiz had been stopped after reports of someone looking into parked cars, and another call about unlawful entry may have drawn more officers. Gov. Tony Evers called for transparency and accountability, while the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation opened an independent homicide investigation.
