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.
26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz had his arm partially blown off after he aggressively rushed at 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who had just tripped and fallen while being chased by the BLM mob.
Grosskreutz had a gun in his hand when he ran up to Rittenhouse, so in self defense, the 17-year-old discharged his weapon, blew off part of Grosskreutz’s arm, saving his own life.
This first video shows Rittenhouse tripping and falling after being chased – he then fired his weapon at 3 different men who jumped on him.

And it’s still unclear to me how the one getting shot in the head played out...Any one know?
***************************************************************************************
According to a TV interview on Tucker’s show last night, short guy (hole in head) was pursuing Kyle. There was gunfire which may have caused Kyle to turn around facing short guy.
Kyle shot him 4 or 5 times-short guy was reaching for Kyle’s gun. The witness was a reporter from Daily Caller, IIRC.
The video that I was watching that night was not clear, and I never found one that was any better.
The link below contains Kyle’s side of the story:
The law firm Pierce Bainbridge, which has represented President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump adviser Carter Page, is representing Kyle, and has released a 3 page statement. This was arranged by Lin Wood.
Kyle was a life guard. After work he was helping to clean up after the prior night’s riot. A request for help went out. He and his friend went to help.
The gun belonged to the friend and never went across state lines. It was in Wisconsin the whole time. It was all self defense.

Yes, they’re no different than a bat when used to hit someone and he did hit someone. So never take a skateboard to a peaceful protest.
This headline is thoroughly misleading. I’ve seen pictures of him with his arm intact, including his fingers, all in a sling. He may have lost a little piece of his arm up around the elbow, but his arm was NOT “partially blown off”!
They are our military enemy...according to THEM.
Good point.
John Pierce from Pierce/Bainbridge is handling the criminal/trial defense...Lin Wood is watching every media outlet that is defaming Kyle....they got this covered. John Pierce considers himself a state of the art “COMBAT TRIAL LAWYER”...also a leader of conservative causes...Lin Wood is a legend...
So you recommend Kyle use rip van byeDUHn’s fave weapon next time? Twelve gauge?
family claims he faces multiple surgeries and probably will never use that arm again. His bicep was destroyed..not sure what picture you saw...
He was using the knife as a decoy to distract attention fro the pistol in his other hand.
Not my post, but NO!
The difference between a .22 and .223. (Velocity)
Don’t get shot with the .223.
Says the true dipshit...
Or a 5.56mm NATO round, either.
Lol... defending the dumb is always a group effort
JUSTICE!
GREAT photos!
Definitely going to lose function and feeling. How much is to be determined.
He also has a very long recovery ahead of him. Obviously his arm will never be the same again.
“family claims he faces multiple surgeries and probably will never use that arm again.”
Seems likely to me. I doubt he has any nerves left in the elbow.
