    Investigators say this shooting was not related to the RNC.

    The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 9 said the shooting involved members of the Columbus, Ohio Police Department.

    Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson told ABC affiliate WISN that he was aware of an officer-involved shooting outside the "soft perimeter here at the convention," but did not know any more details.

    The incident took place in the outer perimeter of the RNC, within the operational zone to which officers were assigned, Columbus police said.

    The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office said an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
