In Kenosha, Wisconsin, the prosecution rested its case in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. On Monday, a volunteer medic testified that he feared for his life before the white 17-year-old opened fire with a semiautomatic assault rifle, striking his arm and blowing away most of his right bicep. Gaige Grosskreutz recounted to jurors how he drew his own pistol after seeing the teen gunman fire several shots from his AR-15 during last summer’s racial justice protests. He’s being questioned here by Kenosha Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

Gaige Grosskreutz: “I thought that the defendant was an active shooter.”
…

Thomas Binger: “What was going through your mind at this particular moment?”

Gaige Grosskreutz: “That I was going to die.”

Rittenhouse fatally shot two people that night: Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum. The defense will continue making its case today.
