0MILWAUKEE: A nighttime curfew for teenagers appeared to be maintaining calm in the US city of Milwaukee early Tuesday, following two nights of violence over the fatal police shooting of a black man. There was “no major arson or property damage,” police chief Ed Flynn said in an update just before midnight, NBC News reported. A black police officer then shot and killed Smith after he failed to drop a gun, according to authorities. Seven police officers were injured in a second night of violence Sunday that stretched into the early hours of Monday. “But you can’t fix the roof of a burning house.”The Milwaukee officer who shot Smith was now staying with relatives out of town for fear of his safety, Flynn said.
