Kyle Rittenhouse, the American teenager who shot and killed two men and wounded another during anti-police protests and riots in Wisconsin last year, was acquitted of all charges on Friday.
A jury found Rittenhouse, 18, not guilty of reckless and intentional homicide and other charges stemming from the shootings which took place in August 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse testified during the two-week trial that he shot the three men with his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle after being attacked.
