A man lunged for Kyle Rittenhouse's rifle just before the 17-year-old fatally shot him, a witness testified at Rittenhouse's murder trial. Rittenhouse is charged with shooting three men, two of them fatally, last year at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In his testimony, McGinniss said that as Rosenbaum lunged, Rittenhouse “kind of dodged around” with his weapon and then leveled the gun and fired.
As prosecutors played footage of Rosenbaum lying fatally wounded in a car lot, McGinniss struggled to keep his composure on the stand, rapidly inhaling and exhaling, then averting his eyes from a video monitor. The prosecutor apologized for playing it, saying he had to do it. Kenosha Detective Martin Howard testified that video shows that a protester, Joshua Ziminski, had fired the first shot into the air. Howard said he used a stopwatch and timed five or six videos to determine that 2.5 seconds later, Rittenhouse began firing at Rosenbaum.
Rittenhouse then wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, a protester from West Allis, Wisconsin, who had a gun in his hand as he stepped toward Rittenhouse. Prosecutors also replayed widely seen video of the interview that The Daily Caller did with Rittenhouse before the shooting.
