KENOSHA, Wisconsin: A teenager was arrested and charged with homicide on Wednesday in connection with gunfire thatduring protests over the police shooting of a Black man in the Wisconsin city of Kenosha.
"What it seems to be is a member of a militia group who decided to be a vigilante and take the law into his own hands and mow down innocent protesters," Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes told MSNBC television on Wednesday before the arrest was reported.
The gunman then falls to the ground where he comes under attack, but he fires a number of rounds, appearing to hit a man in the torso, who falls to the ground, and seriously wounding another man in the arm. Video clips showed the shooter - who authorities evidently believe is Rittenhouse - was a white man with a rifle.The suspect's now-deleted Facebook page shows him posing with another young man, both holding rifles. The photo is encircled by a Blue Lives Matter badge in support of police.
"We are unaware if the armed citizen was answering the Kenosha Guard Militia's call to arms," the group said earlier on Wednesday.Trump on Wednesday said had spoken with Democratic Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, who had agreed to accept US law enforcement support. While not confirming the president's assertion, Evers said he had doubled the potential National Guard deployment to 500 officers.
