MILWAUKEE — After the second night of unrest in Milwaukee, the city's mayor announced a 10 p.m. curfew for teens this week starting Monday.

On Sunday, less than 24 hours after an uprising that captured the national spotlight, disorder hit the city for a second day after a police officer fatally shot an armed man.

At least one person was shot during the continued unrest in the city's Sherman Park neighborhood, authorities said.

An 18-year-old Milwaukee man was shot and seriously injured during the unrest, according to Milwaukee police. Officers used an armored vehicle to retrieve him and take him to a hospital. Police continue to look for suspects.

There were multiple reports of shots fired, as well as reports of a car fire.

Just after midnight, lines of police holding riot gear began moving down Burleigh Street telling people they were in an unlawful assembly.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department, 14 arrests were made, three squad cars were damaged and one store had broken windows from the riots and protests Sunday night.

Four Milwaukee police officers and four Milwaukee County deputies were injured overnight during the clash with demonstrators.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin said Monday the deputies were hit by concrete or rocks and that two of them haven't returned to duty, according to the Associated Press.

During a news conference Monday, Police Chief Ed Flynn reaffirmed that Sylville K. Smith, who was fatally shot Saturday night, had a gun in his hand, despite claims from his family.

On Sunday, Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard to assist the Milwaukee Police Department upon request in the aftermath of violence, after a request from Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. The development came after a night when businesses were torched, cars overturned and set ablaze and gunfire erupted after the fatal police shooting.

On Sunday, Flynn said the officer was wearing a body camera that showed Smith was armed, and that Smith turned toward the officer with the gun after being told to drop the weapon.

Flynn confirmed that the officer is African-American.

"We are concerned for his safety," Flynn said of the officer, who was not identified. "He has been staying with relatives out of town."

"I want the community to know that the individual had a gun," Mayor Tom Barrett said Sunday.

Flynn said that based on his review of the officer's body camera video, the chain of events leading to the shooting of Smith took 20 to 25 seconds.

"I mean, there was virtually no time between the officer unhooking his seat belt, turning on his body camera, getting out of the car and immediately he was in a foot chase. That foot chase went maybe a few dozen feet before he encountered this individual in a fenced yard," Flynn said.

"The individual was armed. The individual did turn toward the officer with the firearm in his hand. You can't tell when the officer discharges his firearm."

Flynn said he doesn't know how soon the body camera video would be released, but he and Barrett said transparency was important and they hoped it could be released soon. That decision will be up to the state Department of Justice. Flynn said the quickest release he knew of was one week, in a Chicago case.

"It's a delicate balance between what the community needs to know ... and the criminal justice process."

The Wisconsin Department of Justice is conducting an independent investigation into the shooting — a step that is required under state law every time a suspect dies at the hands of officers or in official custody.

Normally, the agency headed by GOP Attorney General Brad Schimel doesn’t release the videos of a shooting or death until the investigation is complete and the district attorney decides whether to issue charges in a death. The video is normally released along with all the other evidence collected, such as witness interviews, 911 tapes and photographs from the scene.

But in this unusual case the Department of Justice realizes that the release of the video might have a calming effect for the community, spokesman Johnny Koremonos said.

“In recognition of the violence that has affected Milwaukee residents for the last 48 hours, (the state Department of Justice) is working expeditiously, and within the parameters of the law, to provide the community a transparent view of the events that took place on Aug. 13,” Koremonos said in a statement.

Even if a decision is made to release a video, it can still take time to do so under the state’s open records law because state Justice officials will still evaluate whether they need to be redacted to protect confidential information.
