Kenosha - A naked, screaming 300-pound man armed with a large pair of scissors was shot to death on a Kenosha street by police early Tuesday as he threatened to harm his three young children, who also were wet and naked.
When the 31-year-old man picked up his 5-year-old son by the head and chest and began to twist his head as if to snap the boy's neck, Officer David Monson fired his .45-caliber service weapon at him, striking him nine times in the torso, said Sgt.
