Kyle Rittenhouse is a teenager that was in Kenosha defending local businesses from rioters. He attempted to intercede with rioters attacking a business, to which they attacked him. It is currently not known if this attack included a gun being pulled and/or fired at him, but that is currently one of the rumors floating around.
Kyle shot one man in the head, killing him. He started to create distance between himself and the mob, to which a couple began to chase after him. He tripped over himself while running, then shot a second rioter in the chest, killing a second. A third rioter pulled a gun of his own, and was shot in the bicep by Kyle.
Kyle then left the scene, returning to his home in another state. He turned himself into his own police station shortly after returning. Wisconsin is seeking 2 counts of first degree murder and crossing state lines to evade arrest/justice.
In my opinion, it was self-defense, making the first-degree murder a bogus charge. Evading police is also untrue, as he turned himself in before the police even knew who to look for.
He did not fire additional shots after getting up, those were shots elsewhere (as evidenced by him becoming more alert after hearing them, likely concerned that someone may be shooting at him from a distance).
What did I miss? What happened with this kid?

After Kyle stood up and started walking away, did he fire several more shots, or was that other gunfire I heard?
