Wrong.
The gun did fall to the ground, just as Grosskreutz said.
And the poor responses that night were due to the pain and pain medication, not deliberate deception.
He never lied about anything, and was the most credible person in the entire courtroom.

Gaige Grosskreutz admits that several details from initial questioning contained errors
In a lengthy cross-examination Monday, defense attorney Corey Chirafisi made a broad attempt at discrediting Gaige Grosskreutz, who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse.
Over the course of an hour, Chirafisi got Grosskreutz to admit that several of his statements made to police shortly after the shooting included either incorrect details or omitted others — most notably that Grosskreutz pointed a gun at Rittenhouse before Rittenhouse fired on him.
Grosskreutz initially told police that he dropped his gun at some point during the incident and didn’t mention that he pointed it at Rittenhouse.
He said it was not an intentional omission, noting that his interview with police occurred after surgery, while he was still on pain medication and coming down from the traumatic events of the shooting.
But, after questioning from Chirafisi, Grosskreutz did acknowledge it was the only detail he failed to mention, having been able to even describe the clothing Rittenhouse wore the night of the shooting.

The fact Grosskreutz initially aimed at Kyle does NOT mean Kyle was at risk when he later pulled the trigger.
Since Kyle had a misfire and had to recycle the action, it should have been clear to Kyle that Grosskreutz was not going to shoot and was not a threat.
