A 17-year-old has been arrested and charged over the shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin that left two protesters dead and another injured in a possible vigilante attack during the third night of unrest in the city.
Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested on Wednesday afternoon in his hometown of Antioch, Illinois and charged with first degree intentional homicide. Court records say the teenager 'fled the state of Wisconsin with the intent to avoid prosecution for that offense'. Antioch is about 15 miles from Kenosha.
Two people were shot dead just before midnight on Tuesday - one in the head and one in the chest. One of the slain men has since been identified as Anthony Huber. A third man, a 36-year-old from West Allis, Wisconsin, was shot in the arm but his wounds were not believed to life-threatening.

WNU Editor: This is what happens when guns and riots mix. In this case a riot was in progress, mayhem ruled the streets, and I noticed that some of the BLM rioters were also armed including the man who was wounded by Kyle Rittenhouse. But this is not an isolated case. I have lost count since the death of George Floyd on how many people have been killed and wounded since the end of May. And then there are those lives who have been destroyed when their businesses were looted and burned to the ground. Every society has a breaking point. In many major American cities that point has been reached.
