Kenosha police have shared photos and video footage of the state crime lab shredding the AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle Kyle Rittenhouse used to fatally shoot two people and wound a third during a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In January Rittenhouse's attorney filed a request to the Kenosha County Circuit Court requesting that the rifle be returned "to ensure that the firearm in question is properly destroyed," according to coverage by The Hill. Rittenhouse changed his mind in regards to those plans and during an appearance on "The Charlie Kirk Show" in December he told the host "we don't want anything to do with that."
