Witness says Kyle Rittenhouse called him seconds after firing gun at Kenosha protests: "I shot somebody"

A friend of Kyle Rittenhouse testified that the Illinois teen was "freaking out" and "really scared" in the moments after he shot three people during street protests against racial justice, and that Rittenhouse told him he had to do it because "people were trying to hurt him."

Dominick Black, who faces his own trial for buying the 17-year-old Rittenhouse an AR-15 style rifle he wasn't old enough to legally possess, said Tuesday he was stunned when Rittenhouse called him seconds after the first shooting.

"I didn't believe the gunshots were actually his until I got a phone call and I answered it and he just said, "I shot somebody, I shot somebody," Black recounted.
