Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Wisconsin on Monday after being extradited from his home state of Illinois on murder charges, WTMJ-TV reported.
Rittenhouse, 17, was ordered Friday to return to Kenosha, where he faces five charges in the Aug. 25 shooting deaths of two Black Lives Matter protesters and the wounding of another — including first-degree intentional homicide and reckless homicide.
According to police records released last week, Rittenhouse confessed inside an Antioch, Illinois, police station that “I shot two white kids.”
The “visibly upset” teenager made his statements to police between bouts of crying and vomiting, the records said.
Rittenhouse was in Kenosha the day of the shootings amid riots stemming from the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man shot repeatedly in the back by police officers during a domestic disturbance on Aug. 23.
Rittenhouse was with an armed militia group in the Wisconsin city to protect businesses from looters when he was confronted by protesters.
The teen, who his lawyers claim acted in self-defense, shot and killed 26-year-old Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 22, with an AR-15-style rifle before fleeing — with the incident captured on viral video.
Grosskreutz was holding a handgun when he was wounded.
Rittenhouse fled to a row of police vehicles with protesters pursuing him, but the cops rolled past him and he fled home to Illinois, where he was arrested and held pending extradition to Wisconsin.
