Milwaukee officer kills unarmed man THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — An unarmed man was shot and killed by a Milwaukee police officer who thought the man was going to draw a weapon on him, the city’s police chief said. The man was identified by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as Mannix Franklin Sr., 31. He was not identified by authorities. The shooting occurred about 8:45 p.m. Friday at a home on the city’s north side. Two officers re sponded to a call from a woman who said her husband had come to her house and refused to leave, police Chief Arthur Jones said in a news release. When the officers arrived, Jones said, the man was in the street but walked away and hid be hind a parked car nearby. He eventually came out but refused to show both of his hands, keeping one inside his jacket. Jones said one officer fired five times when he thought the man was going to draw a weapon. The man was later found to be unarmed, police said. He was tak en to a hospital, where he died. Franklin’s relatives disputed the police account and said they have asked Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann to investigate the death. Marnice Franklin told the Journal Sentinel she did not have a restraining order against her husband, who lived with her and their four children. She acknowl edged police were called to the home but declined to say who called them. “They killed him for nothing,” Marnice Franklin said. “They were trigger-happy.” Court records show that Mannix Franklin was charged earlier this year with disorderly conduct and ordered to take an in tervention course, the newspaper reported. The 25-year-old officer was placed on administrative leave while police investigate the shoot ing. He has less than two years ex perience on the force. McCann opted last month not to charge three police officers who shot three unarmed motorists in unrelated incidents. U.S. helicopter gunned down BY TINI TRAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FALLUJAH, IRAQ Insurgents shot down a Chinook helicopter with dozens of American soldiers on board Sunday, killing 15 and wound ing 21 in the deadliest strike against U.S. forces since the war began — a sign of the increas ing sophistication of Iraq’s elu sive anti-U.S. fighters. The giant helicopter was fer rying the soldiers on their way for leave outside Iraq when, wit nesses told The Associated Press, two missiles streaked into the sky, fired from a grove of date palm trees, and slammed into the redr of the aircraft. It crashed in flames in farmers’ fields west of Baghdad. It was the deadliest day for U.S. troops since March 23 — the first week of the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein — and a major escalation in tne cam paign to drive the U.S.-led coali tion out of the country. Three other Americans were killed in separate attacks Sunday, including one 1st Armored Division soldier in Baghdad and two U.S. civilians working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fallujah. All three were victims of roadside bombs, the military said. “It’s clearly a tragic day for America,” Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said in Washington. “In a long, hard war, we’re going to have tragic days. But they’re necessary. They’re part of a war that’s dif ficult and complicated.” Like past attacks on U.S. forces and a string of suicide bombings that killed dozens in Baghdad the past week, U.S. coalition officials blamed either Saddam loyalists or foreign fighters for the strike outside Fallujah, a center of Sunni Muslim resistance to the U.S. oc cupation. L. Paul Bremer, the head of the occupation in Iraq, repeat© demands that Syria and Irai prevent fighters from crossin their borders into Iraq. “The could do, a much better job c helping us seal that border an keeping terrorists out of Iraq; he told CNN. ' . The “enemies of freedom” i: Iraq “are using more sophist cated techniques to attack ou forces,” he said. , U.S. officials have been wan ing of the danger of shouldei fired missiles, thousands c which are now scattered fror Saddam’s arsenals, and sue missiles are believed to hav downed two U.S. helicopter since May 1. Those two crashe — of smaller helicopters — lei only one American wounded. The loaded-down Chinoo was a dramatic new target. Th insurgents have been steadil advancing in their weaponrj first using homemade roadsid Vi r, w-i Vi n 4 Vi **a/>1/a4 firrt grenades in ambushes o American patrols, and vehicle stuffed with explosives and de onated by suicide attackers. In the fields south of Fallujal some villagers proudly showe off blackened pieces of th Chinook’s wreckage to arrivin .reporters. Though a few villagers trie to help, many celebrated wor of the helicopter downing, a well as a fresh attack on U.S. so diers'in Fallujah itself. “This was a new lesson froi the resistance, a lesson to th greedy aggressors,” on Fallujah resident, who wouldn give his name, said of the hel copter downing. “They’ll neve be safe until they get out of ou country,” he said of th Americans. The downed helicopter wa one of two Chinooks flying oi in formation from an air base i Habbaniyah, about 10 mile from the crash site, carryin troops to Baghdad on route fc rest and recreation.
