Riots and protests erupted Tuesday evening for the third night in a row in Kenosha following an officer-involved shooting Sunday.
Two men were shot to death and one wounded in Kenosha Tuesday night.
The shooter was identified as 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of Lake County, Illinois — video footage shows he was likely acting in self defense.
- One man died after being shot in the head and a second man died after being shot in the chest.
- A third man was wounded after Rittenhouse blew part of his arm off with a rifle.
Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha died after he was shot in the head Tuesday night during the Kenosha riots.
At 23:19, Rittenhouse is seen in this YouTube livestream. He’s being chased into a parking lot. While he is being pursued, an unknown gunman fires the first shot into the air.

Rittenhouse turned toward the sound of the gunfire as another pursuer lunged toward him. He then fired four times with his rifle, and appeared to shoot Rosenbaum in the head.

Noted attorney Lin Wood announced he will help defend 17-year-old Rittenhouse and asked for his attorneys to contact him.
Ayanna Pressley just got condemned to the World of the Blocked. She is no Elvis. And I am not a criminal defense lawyer but I am going to see what I can do tomorrow to help Kyle Rittenhouse.
