I did, in the link does not say this was self-defense. Which means you are the one who didn't read the article. Awkward.
The guy was running with a rifle, he fell down and the pursuers came at him, tried to kick him and take his rifle. There are several videos from multiple sources showing this. It clearly looks like self defense but, I believe he is been charged with first degree murder.
A Daily Caller reporter was on the scene:
"The alleged shooter is currently in custody and is being held at a juvenile facility in Illinois, according to
ABC7.
The Daily Caller’s Richie McGinniss interviewed the suspect just before the incident occurred."
"The man, armed with a rifle standing outside a local business, told McGinniss that his “job is to protect this business,” and that “if there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harms way.”
Another video shows what appears to be the shooter running away, while a group of individuals chase after him. One person tries to tackle what appears to be the shooter. He then seems to fire his rifle multiple times before getting up. The suspect then appears to run toward police officers with his hands up. An individual in the video can be heard screaming “Hey! He just shot them!” The shooter then appears to walk past police officers.
A 17-year-old has been charged with first degree murder after gunfire erupted in Kenosha, Wisconsin during riots.
