(FOX NEWS) — An attorney for Illinois teen Kyle Rittenhouse — who is facing first-degree murder charges in connection with a shooting that killed two people and wounded a third person in Kenosha, Wis. last week — told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Monday his client acted in self-defense.
“He was in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death,” John Pierce told host Tucker Carlson. “This is 100% self-defense Tucker — Kyle is a good kid.”
According to Pierce, Rittenhouse traveled to Kenosha from his home in Antioch, Ill. to help a friend who owns a business in Kenosha and feared for his property after two nights of rioting that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
