Police: 10 arrests overnight in calmer Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- Police say they arrested 10 people overnight but that Milwaukee's north side was much calmer than over the weekend when violent protests over the shooting of a black man rocked the area.

The department also tweeted Tuesday that only one shot was fired, which is far fewer than the previous two nights. And police noted zero injured officers, no damaged vehicles and no damage to businesses or residences.

Six businesses were burned Saturday night, the first and worst night of the unrest.



Chief Edward Flynn is briefing a closed meeting of city council members Tuesday morning.

Police say the man who was shot Saturday was fleeing from police and had turned with a gun in hand toward the pursuing officer, who was also black. The state is investigating.
