Madison police shoot and kill black teen; protests follow
(Wisconsin State Journal) A Madison police officer shot and killed a black teenager Friday night after the youth allegedly assaulted the officer, according to media reports.
The 19-year-old was shot shortly before 6:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of Williamson St., the Wisconsin State Journal reported. Protesters took to the streets near the scene, claiming the shooting was unjustified, according to WMTV in Madison.
Madison Police Chief Michael Koval told the newspaper that officers were responding to a call of a man who was responsible for a battery jumping in and out of traffic.
According to the newspaper, Koval said an officer went to an apartment that the man had gone into and made a forced entry after hearing a disturbance inside.
The officer was then assaulted by the man before shooting him, said Koval, who also said he did not know if the man was armed.
According to a post on the website of WISC-TV in Madison, the man who was shot was black.
The teen has been identified as 19 year old Tony Robinson, pictured above.
