@nbcchicago: CORRECTION: The video should be credited to Michael Doubek, not Colin Sheeley. The shooting occurred after Madison Police Department officers responded to the Marquette neighborhood for a report of a person who was stealing bicycles and checking vehicle doors, authorities said. The officers located the man, but he then fled on a bike. The officers found the man again around 1:35 p.m. near the intersection of South Baldwin Street and Williamson Street on the city's east side. Video posted to social media of the shooting showed what appeared to be four police officers in a physical struggle with a suspect in the intersection. A police car with lights activated pulled up next to the group, and seconds later, three shots can be heard ringing out. During the struggle, the man pulled out a knife and injured an officer, authorities said. The officers continued to try to take him into custody, including using a Taser, but were unsuccessful. Michael Doubek, who witnessed the incident while on his way home from the co-op grocery store on Williamson when he saw police cars "flying by." When Doubek reached the intersection where the altercation was happening, he was just feet from the man when he "flew" off the bike and was tackled to the ground by a police officer.
