Kyle Rittenhouse instigated the confrontation that led him to shoot three people on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin during a Black Lives Matter protest last year, a prosecutor told the jury during opening statements of his murder trial.Rittenhouse, then 17, shot dead two protesters and wounded a third man with a semi-automatic rifle amid demonstrations over the police shooting of a Black man. Rittenhouse killed one of the victims with a shot to the back, a prosecutor said.His lawyer suggested Rittenhouse acted only in self-defence after he was attacked by violent assailants and suggested that he would take the stand in his own defence.
