Protesters hurled bricks, fired gunshots and set a gas station on fire in Milwaukee on Saturday night hours after a patrol officer shot and killed an armed suspect during a pursuit that followed a traffic stop, authorities said.

A former Milwaukee police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man was acting in self defense and will not be charged, the district attorney said on Monday, two days after dozens of demonstrators calling for justice in the case were arrested.
