The shootings by Mr. Rittenhouse, which he contends were committed in self-defense, occurred on the third night of protests in the city. Long before the shooting, Mr. Rittenhouse’s social media accounts were full of posts supporting the police and Blue Lives Matter. Just as Mr. Rittenhouse turned toward the sound of the gunfire, Mr. Rosenbaum lunged at him. Mr. Rittenhouse fired four times, shooting Mr. Rosenbaum in the head, the video shows. Mr. Rittenhouse then fled down Sheridan Road with at least a dozen members of the crowd in pursuit.
