Family of man shot by Madison police calls for justice

MADISON, Wis. — The attorney for the family of a man killed this week by police said Friday that the officer who fired the fatal shots should be charged with a crime.

An officer on Wednesday shot Corey Ruiz as he and other officers struggled with him, according to police. Police said Ruiz pulled out a knife during the tussle, but bystander video posted online appeared to show the officer firing shots after Ruiz was already being held on the ground.
