The 17-year-old Illinois resident arrested in connection with the fatal shooting at a Jacob Blake protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is set to have an extradition hearing Friday.

"McGinnis stated that the first round went into the ground and when the second shot went off, the defendant actually had the gun aimed at Rosenbaum," the complaint said.

Another person, identified as Anthony Huber in the complaint, then approached Rittenhouse while he was still on the ground and tried to grab the gun. Huber had a skateboard in one hand and attempted to get the gun from Rittenhouse in the other, based on authorities' video review. A man named Gaige Grosskreutz put his hands in the air after Huber was shot, seemingly armed with a handgun, and was allegedly shot in the arm by Rittenhouse when he attempted to approach the teen, according to the complaint.

"Since Wednesday, the entire atmosphere of Kenosha has changed dramatically as far as the people who live here. The crowds last night were small, it was a few hundred people and they walked peacefully through Kenosha," Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said."I think the people that were here last night were Kenosha's people. ... A huge part of me thinks that a lot of our issues start when different people with different agendas come here to Kenosha.

Where are / were his parents?

Clear case of self defense

The Police Chief, the Captain of the District and whoever authorized this Militia to do their jobs, need to go jail also. Plus whoever brought this guy AR, when in Illinois and Wisconsin it’s illegal someone his age to have a weapon. They all should be in cell beside this nut.

Is his mother in custody? She did drive him and his assault rifle across state lines and he did seem to have broadcast his intent. Aiding and abetting at the least.

Arrest his mother as well she is his accomplice

Finally know what it feels like to be a democrat, rooting for the 'criminals' all the time. I'm told this kid shouldn't of had possession of a firearm in Wi, but protecting himself and not taking a beat down kind of makes him a hero in my book. pedogotwhathedeserve
