MILWAUKEE (AP) - Dozens of demonstrators gathered in the rain at Milwaukee’s lakefront to express anger over the fatal shooting of a teenage driver by a sheriff’s deputy.
The Journal Sentinel (https://bit.ly/2sDGobd ) says some demonstrators Wednesday evening hurled obscenities at deputies who stood nearby watching the group, but that the 40 to 50 people gathered were not physically violent.
Nineteen-year-old Terry Williams was shot by a deputy Sunday night near the spot where demonstrators gathered. Authorities say he was removed from life support at a Milwaukee area hospital on Tuesday.
Sheriff’s officials say another deputy was attempting to stop Williams for a traffic violation when Williams drove up a curb along the busy lakefront and was shot by the deputy who was on foot.
