Milwaukee • Wisconsin's attorney general says a fatal police shooting in Milwaukee that sparked two nights of violence was recorded by not one but two body cameras.
The state is investigating the Aug. 13 shooting of 23-year-old Sylville Smith. Authorities have said he was fleeing police and that footage from the officer's body camera clearly shows Smith holding a handgun and turning toward an officer when he was shot.
Attorney General Brad Schimel says authorities are reviewing that as well as a second video recorded by another officer's body camera. He says the vantage points are similar.
Schimel says the videos won't be released until after the county prosecutor decides whether to charge the officer.
