"As they continued to walk, Rosenbaum tried to get closer to Rittenhouse, McGinnis told police. When Rosenbaum grew near, Rittenhouse did a “juke” move and started running, seemingly trying to evade a group of people who were moving toward him, McNeill wrote.
Rittenhouse had his gun in “a low ready position” with the weapon raised and pointed downward by the time they approached the car. He then brought the gun up and fired multiple rounds, possibly three, in rapid succession, the reporter told police.
“McGinnis stated that the first round went into the ground and when the second shot went off, the defendant actually had the gun aimed at Rosenbaum. McGinnis stated he did not hear the two exchange any words,” McNeill wrote.
**According to the reporter, Rosenbaum was reaching for the barrel of Rittenhouse’s gun, when the teenager pulled it away and raised the weapon.
“Right as they came together, the defendant fired,” McNeill wrote.
After the defendant shot, he ran back toward the hospital. McGinnis stayed and to continue to aid Rosenbaum, and heard additional shots soon after, he told police, according to court records. ..."

“Based on the sounds of gunshots on the video and the positioning of the defendant’s gun, it appears that he fires two shots in quick succession at this person. It appears that that person was not hit as he then runs away from the defendant,” McNeill wrote.
A second person, later identified as Huber, approached Rittenhouse while the teenager still was on the ground, and appeared to reach for Rittenhouse’s gun. As he did so, the skateboard in Huber’s hand made contact with Rittenhouse’s left shoulder, according to court documents.
“Huber appears to be trying to pull the gun away from the defendant. The defendant rolls towards his left side and as Huber appears to be trying to grab the gun, the gun is pointed at Huber’s body,” McNeill wrote.
Rittenhouse then fires one round, which could be heard on the video, records show.
“Huber staggers away, taking several steps, then collapses to the ground,” McNeill wrote. “Huber subsequently died from this gunshot wound.”
After shooting Huber, Rittenhouse sat up and pointed his gun at a third person approaching him, McNeill wrote.
When the gun went off, another man who was standing nearby ducked and took a step back. The man, identified as Gaige Grosskreutz, put his hands in the air and moved toward Rittenhouse. The 17-year-old aimed his gun and fired a single shot into Grosskreutz’s right arm, according to court documents.
“Grosskreutz appears to be holding a handgun in his right hand when he was shot,” McNeill wrote. “Grosskreutz then runs southbound away from the defendant screaming for a medic and the defendant gets up and starts walking northbound.”
