’I walked away with my life that night’: Wounded Kenosha medic Gaige Grosskreutz tells his story

Gaige Grosskreutz was among three people shot on the third night of protests after Kenosha police shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back. The two other victims of the Aug. 25 triple shooting, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, did not survive. The shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill., considered himself a citizen soldier. That evening, armed with an AR-15, he told several people he had traveled to Kenosha to help protect life and property. Rittenhouse has been charged with five felonies including first-degree intentional homicide. His lead attorney, John M. Pierce of the law firm Pierce Bainbridge, plans to argue self-defense.
