Rittenhouse, now 18, is charged with shooting three men, two of them fatally, in the summer of 2020. The testimony at Rittenhouse’s murder trial Thursday came from two witnesses who were called to the stand by the prosecution but gave accounts often more favorable to the defense in the politically polarizing case.

(AP) - The rapid sequence in which Kyle Rittenhouse shot three men on the streets of Kenosha was set off by the confrontational behavior of the first man, who threatened to kill Rittenhouse and others in his group and later grabbed for the 17-year-old’s weapon right before he was shot, witnesses testified.
