When Gaige Grosskreutz encountered Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha last year, the city was riven by chaotic unrest after a police shooting. Its streets were filled with demonstrators, law enforcement officials and throngs of armed civilians who traveled there from out of town, including these two young men.
Their paths crossed briefly in August 2020, ending in a moment of bloodshed: Rittenhouse firing a shot into Grosskreutz’s arm, pulverizing his right biceps, inches from where his right hand still clutched a Glock pistol.
Exactly what happened in the moments leading up to that shot was dissected in a Kenosha courtroom Monday as Rittenhouse’s trial entered its second week.
