KENOSHA, Wis.Prosecutors charged the 17-year-old accused of opening fire on protesters late Tuesday with killing two people, the latest in a string of fast-moving events touched off Sunday when video surfaced showing police repeatedly shooting a Black man in the back as he entered a car.
Kenosha saw its second night of relative calm, after several consecutive nights of protests, violence and looting that has left two people dead, a third injured and government buildings and businesses across the small lakefront city burned and destroyed.
The Kenosha County District Attorney on Thursday laid out six counts against Kyle Rittenhouse in the deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, the attempted killing of Gaige Grosskreutz and the reckless endangerment of reporter Richard McGinnis, after Mr. Rittenhouse was initially arrested and charged with homicide on Wednesday.
The new charges against Mr. Rittenhouse include first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon. When he was first arrested Wednesday in his hometown of Antioch, Ill., the teenager was charged with first-degree homicide.
