Not sure how credible it is, but I read that Kyle was working that day in Kenosha as the pool’s lifeguard, his summer job. (He lives about 30 miles away). After work he went to help clean off graffiti at the Kenosha High School.
It was then that some friends of his (from Kenosha) said they were going to protect the service station, and he obtained the AR from a friend in Kenosha.
I'll take this opportunity to post this version (my favorite) by one of my favorite singing groups (acapela).
