Milwaukee police officers shot and killed a suspect in a fatal stabbing after he allegedly lunged at them with a knife.

The 49-year-old suspect initially fled the scene, but returned nearly two hours later and police say he lunged at them with a knife. Several officers shot at the man. A knife was recovered nearby.
