Kyle Rittenhouse, who faces a gun charge in Wisconsin stemming from his shooting of two men and wounding a third in Kenosha in August, will not face gun charges in his native Illinois, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The Smith & Wesson .223 caliber rifle that Rittenhouse, who lives in Antioch, Illinois, utilized in Kenosha on August 25 “was purchased, stored and used in Wisconsin” according to Antioch police. Lake County State’s Attorney Mike Nerheim issued a news release stating there was no evidence that Rittenhouse “physically possessed” the weapon in Illinois.
