Two dead after gunman opens fire on protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin; social media lit after video depicts alleged gunman working with police

Male subject with rifle accepts water from police and police are heard saying “We appreciate you guys, we really do.”

KENOSHA, WISCONSIN – Two people are dead after a gunman opened fire on protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin Tuesday night and social media is lit in the aftermath as circulating video depicts the alleged gunman working with police and being told he’s appreciated and given water.

Kenosha police say that on August 25, 2020 at about 11:45 PM, Kenosha police, along with assisting agencies, responded to the area of 63rd Street and Sheridan Road for reports of shots being fired and multiple gunshot victims. The shooting resulted in two fatalities and a third gunshot victim was transported to a hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. They say the shooting investigation is active an ongoing and no further details regarding the shooting will be released at this time. The names, ages and cities of residence for the victims are still being determined.

In the aftermath of the shooting, social media lit up as video showed what appears to be a young man with an AR-15 rifle fire on bystanders in a street where protesters were gathered. The man (or boy) fires multiple shots, striking several people. As the video progresses, the shooter, with his AR-15 slung over his shoulder, calmly walks toward police, gives a hand gesture, and is allowed to continue on. He is later shown in a second video with other armed men near the scene, consorting with police and accepting water. Police tell the men, “We appreciate you guys, we really do.”

There is a petition being gathered at this time to pressure the Governor of Wisconsin to force the arrest of the alleged shooter, who many are reporting as 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.
