SOCIAL MEDIA, WHERE THE TEENAGER
IS SEEN OPENING FIRE WITH A
RIFLE AT CLOSE RANGE, LEAVING
TWO DEAD AND ONE WOUNDED.
HE SAYS IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
THE AUTHORITIES CALL IT MURDER.
THE I-TEAM HAS LEARNED FROM
FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS, THE GUN
WAS LEGALLY PURCHASED, EVEN AS
AUTHORITIES WORK TO FIGURE OUT
HOW IT ENDED UP IN HIS HANDS.
AFTER A WORLDWIDE SOCIAL MEDIA
AUDIENCE WATCHED 17-YEAR-OLD
KYLE RITTENHOUSE OPEN FIRE IN
THE MIDDLE OF A KENOSHA STREET
WITH AN AR 15 RIFLE, HE
APPARENTLY RETURNED TO HIS
FAMILY'S HOME IN CHICAGO'S
SUBURBS.
A FEW HOURS LATER, WHEN HE
VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED TO
POLICE, DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS SAY
THEY TOOK POSSESSION OF TWO
SMITH & WESSON M AND P 15
RIFLES.
THE INTERIM POLICE CHIEF IN
ANTIOCH TELLS THE I-TEAM, THE
RIFLES WERE TURNED OVER TO
KENOSHA PD.
>> THEY BROUGHT THE GUNS ACT
ILLINOIS.
WE DON'T KNOW -- IT DOES MEAN
THIS.
IF THERE WERE GUNS IN HIS
POSSESSION IN ILLINOIS, THAT MAY
GIVE RISE TO CHARGES.
CHUCK: THE TEENAGER IS BEING
HELD IN LOCKUP WHILE EXTRADITION
PROCEEDINGS PLAY OUT.
INVESTIGATORS WORK TO DETERMINE
WHEN, WHERE, HOW AND BY WHOM THE
FIREARMS WERE PURCHASED.
ACCORDING TO POLICE, THEY WANT
TO DETERMINE IF ANY CRIMES WERE
COMMITTED IN ILLINOIS.
RITTENHOUSE'S ATTORNEYS MAINTAIN
THE TEENAGER DIDN'T BRING THE
ASSAULT STYLE RIFLE FROM
ILLINOIS TO WISCONSIN PRIOR TO
LAST MONTH'S KILLINGS.
INVESTIGATORS CONFIRM THE RIFLE
HAD BEEN LEGALLY PURCHASED.
RITTENHOUSE'S LAWYERS SAY, BY A
WISCONSIN FRIEND WHO HANDED IT
OVER TO THE ILLINOIS TEENAGER
THE AFTERNOON OF THE KILLINGS TO
HELP POLICE DEFEND KENOSHA
BUSINESSES THAT HAD COME UNDER
SIEGE BY LOOTERS, WHO
RITTENHOUSE SAYS ATTACKED HIM.
>> IS IT SELF-DEFENSE OR IS IT
NOT SELF-DEFENSE?
CHUCK: AUTHORITIES TELL THE
I-TEAM, DECISIONS ARE EXPECTED
SOON ON WHETHER ADDITIONAL
INDIVIDUALS WILL BE CHARGED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE WEAPONS, THE
MURDERS, AND THE WOUNDING OF
ANOTHER PEOPLE -- ANOTHER PERSON
.
RITTENHOUSE'S ATTORNEYS HAVEN'T
RESPONDED TO OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT
HIS MOVEMENT, THE GUNS OR HOW HE
OBTAINED THE WEAPONS SEEN IN THE
VIDEO THAT WENT VIRA
