The Illinois teenager accused of shooting three people during a protest last August, killing two, says he doesn’t regret his actions.
17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse tells a reporter he truly feared for his life when he opened fire.
Rittenhouse did a Thursday phone interview with the Washington Post from the juvenile jail where he is being held.
He says he went to Kenosha to help protect private property and give first aid to people with minor injuries.
He ended up shooting two men to death and wounding a third.
His attorneys have long said the shootings were self-defense.
Rittenhouse told the Post he thinks he would have died if he hadn’t had a gun and used it that night.
