The two disturbing incidents took place just days after former President Donald Trump survived an attempt to take his life in Pennsylvania.
Homeland Security Investigators and Capitol Police assigned to surveil the area where the Republican National Convention is taking place detained a suspicious looking man Monday afternoon.
The man was wearing a ski mask and carried a tactical bag, drawing officers’ attention.
Upon searching the bag, police found an AK-47 pistol and a full magazine, Milwaukee Police confirmed to Fox News.
The 21-year-old male has not been identified as of now and police say his intentions were not immediately clear.
They noted that he does not posses a concealed carry license in Wisconsin or any other reciprocal state.
He will be charged after a review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
Second Armed Man Killed After Police Encounter
In a separate incident on Tuesday, out-of-state police officers in town for the convention shot a 43-year-old man wielding knives a few blocks away from the event center.
Thousands of officers have been brought in to provide extra security during the convention. The Milwaukee Police identified the officers as an assisting unit from the Columbus Police Department.
While the department says it does not believe the man was targeting the convention, he was “within the operational zone to which our officers were assigned.”
The Columbus officers witnessed the man “armed with a knife in each hand engaged in an altercation with another unarmed individual.”
“The officers identified themselves as police officers and made several commands to the suspect to drop the knife,” police said. “The subject refused these commands and charged at the other individual with the knives. At this time, several officers discharged their firearms simultaneously striking the suspect.”
People who live in the area told the Associated Press that the man was homeless and known to live in a tent encampment in the area.
Biden and the democrats constant spewing of lies and hate to their mentally unstable base is leading to desperate violence(just like they knew it would).
