Killer freed

KENOSHA, WI -- A teenager who killed two people and maimed a third with an AR-15 walked free.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted on five charges by a jury.

Rittenhouse had been charged with double murder and attempted murder in the 2020 shootings that followed riots in downtown Kenosha.

Rittenhouse, then 17, slapped on a medic bag and an AR-15 and walked into the streets, claiming he wanted to help people who needed emergency medical treatment.

He later admitted he lied about being an EMT.

The young killer also later conceded that the first man he killed - with four shots - was unarmed, even though he had told the crowd that the man was carrying a gun.

Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and all but shot off the arm of a third man, all of whom he claimed were attacking him.

The third man was a paramedic but was also carrying a pistol.
