MADISON, Wis. -- A portion of Williamson Street near the site where police shot and killed a man will be closed through mid-morning on Thursday.
City of Madison officials said the street will stay closed from South Dickinson Street to South Few Street "to ensure public safety." There will be message boards and signs set out to alert drivers of the closures. It is unclear when exactly the street will reopen.
According to city officials Thursday afternoon, officials are currently discussing details on the street closures and assessing options to ensure the situation is "safe."
Madison police shot and killed a man in his 30s on Wednesday at the intersection of Williamson and Baldwin streets. Police Chief John Patterson said the man was armed with a knife and injured one of the four officers who were trying to detain him.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation is examining evidence from the scene and will turn over its findings to the Dane County District Attorney's Office.

(This is going to annoy the Chablis-sippin’ Socialists in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ no doubt!)
MADISON, Wis.— Concerts on the Square was cancelled on Wednesday night due to protests.
Protesters took a bullhorn and seen yelling at patrons seated at tables.
Earlier Wednesday, a man in his 30s died after a police officer shot him during an altercation.
Madison police received an initial call around 1 p.m. in the Marquette neighborhood regarding a man “checking vehicles.” Police arrived to the area and found the man, who they said left the scene on a bicycle.
The man was found near the intersection of South Baldwin Street and East Williamson Street at around 1:30 p.m.
During a press conference Wednesday evening, Police Chief John Patterson said four officers were involved, two of whom were injured during the altercation. It was undetermined as to how the man on the bicycle fell.
Police said the suspect allegedly pulled out a fix-blade knife, to which an officer pulled out a taser. The same officer shot him with a gun.
Live-saving measures were attempted to the man, who was then taken to the hospital. Patterson confirmed the man later died.
According to Patterson, the officer who shot the man is a “veteran police officer.” All four officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, per district policy.

I’m actually kind of IMPRESSED with the Madistan police leadership who DID NOT give the miscreants a venue to protest and burn parts of Madistan to the grounds.
This is seriously a FIRST for them - and we don’t even have a Conservative Police Chief in charge these days! What gives? ;)
Seriously? People are going to protest for a career criminal who pulled a knife on cops?
Yes.
It doesn’t make any sense, unless you look at it from a different perspective. One where the goal is to increase the level of chaos. Make sense?
Just like Saint Fentanyl Floyd.
Minneapolis had it’s “grande summer of love”. It looks like the female cop stepped up and shot the crook. Why? She will be thrown under the bus and sent to prison.
