Newly emerged online video and photos apparently shows one of alleged Kenosha, Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouses victims holding a handgun during the encounter as the suspects lawyer insists his client was acting in self-defense.
In the footage, Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old Illinois resident, can be seen allegedly shooting his third and only surviving victim Gaige Grosskreutz in the arm as the Grosskreutz apparently holds a handgun.
Prosecutors say Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz, 26, shortly after fatally gunning down Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, late Tuesday during protests over the Sunday police-shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake in the city.
The teen shooting suspect was charged with six criminal counts including first-degree intentional homicide and attempted homicide but his lawyer L. Lin Wood insists that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense.
According to Rittenhouses criminal complaint filed Thursday in Kenosha County Circuit Court, an unarmed Rosenbaum had followed Rittenhouse into a used car lot and a Daily Caller reporter identified as Richard McGinnis was trailing behind them.
At the lot, Rosenbaum attempted to throw a plastic bag at Rittenhouse and McGinnis, who witnessed the incident, told authorities that Rosenbaum tried to grab Rittenhouses Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle before he was shot.

Curiously, have you noticed how quiet the media is about Kyle? I have. They are puckered up, knowing their asses are on the line if they say ANYTHING out of line.
Dems want these rioters to run amok, and citizens can only cower before them.
Yes he should. Based first on the video evidence, then his social media statement of his intent and followed by witness statements. One witness being Kyle Rittenhouse.
He should also be charged for carrying a firearm while on probation, being a felon in possession of a firearm and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
It WAS self defense.
it looks like the pocket of his pants
I don’t think he was either. Look what it did to that other guy’s bicep.
“Agreed. I do not think Kyle shot him.”
Kyle said he did.
“I have seen other angles, so I do not believe it was a Molotov cocktail.”
I have heard others say it was a Molotov cocktail and I thought I saw a flame burst in an early video but it was a bit before the guy go shot.
May not be that important as the first victim grabbed and tried to take away the gun.
Davis pistol?
Covina, CA?
Yep. Lefty the Felon. If you want to see a very graphic pic of his wound click the link. Not really suitable to post on the forum.
I'm amazed that a .223 did that much damage.
I speculate it was a bag with a brick and something flammable. The result would be like a molotov cocktail but with the ability to break through glass.
Some bags are, supposedly, filled with human feces.
I’ve been told worse, trust me ;)
Oh, right.
Some kind of packaged bandage or sweat rag in his pocket?
.
Thanks for clearing that up
Either round causes major damage at close to muzzle velocity hits.
Lin Wood getting involved likely got the immediate attention of various legal departments who quickly sent a very strongly worded memo down....that said, how many major media have already gotten themselves into eventual trouble on this one?
Somebody here break it down for me regarding the saline spray in this punks pack?
“Access denied”...
Although I’d seen it earlier.
