US police shoot dead man near Republican convention building

US police shot and killed a person yesterday, Tuesday, near the Republican National Convention building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

According to local media, a police officer spotted a suspicious-looking person near the conference building, and eyewitnesses said the suspect was holding two knives in his hand and waving them at police, who shot him dead.

Former US President Donald Trump appeared in public for the first time last night, attending the Republican National Convention, after an assassination attempt during an election rally on July 13.

Trump is expected to address the Republican National Convention next Thursday.
