Disturbing new footage has emerged which appears to show the police-obsessed gunman charged with the murder of two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha shooting dead his first victim before running away.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested on Wednesday at his home in Antioch, Illinois, some 20 miles from Kenosha, where riots over the shooting of Jacob Blake have been raging now for four nights.
He is accused of killing two people at the protests on Tuesday night while trying to ‘defend’ the city.
On Wednesday Police Chief Daniel Miskinis appeared to blame Tuesday night’s violence on people breaking the curfew, telling a press conference: ‘Last night, in a situation that began peaceful and turned somewhat unruly …
persons who were out after the curfew became engaged in some type of disturbance and persons were shot. Had persons not been out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that unfolded would not have happened.’
The two men who were killed have been identified as Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha, and Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake, about 15 miles west of the city.
The wounded person, Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, of West Allis, about 30 miles northwest of Kenosha, was expected to survive, police said.
Videos from Tuesday night’s protests had already shown a gunman, later identified as Rittenhouse, being tailed by protesters as he ran down a street. The videos show the gunman stumbling and falling before firing three or four shots hitting at least two people. Huber was later identified as the man killed in this incident.
Now a new earlier clip appears to shed light on how the ordeal unfolded after a first victim was shot in the head outside a nearby auto garage.
That man, now named as father-of-one Rosenbaum, is pictured on the ground while the gunman stands nearby.
The video show the gunman running away in the moments after the gunshots rang out. He could be heard saying: ‘I’ve just killed somebody.’ It is then the second and third shootings, seen in the initial video shared widely Wednesday, are thought to have happened after protesters chased the gunman.
