Jurors heard the testimony of Gaige Grosskreutz, who Rittenhouse is accused of shooting in the arm at a Kenosha protest, on Monday.

Grosskreutz, 27, said he thought Rittenhouse was an "active shooter" after Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was shot and killed. Grosskreutz told defense attorneys that he pointed his own handgun at Rittenhouse before being shot in the arm.

“I was never trying to kill the defendant, that was never something I was trying to do,” Grosskreutz said. He also told defense attorneys that he had a concealed carry permit, but it was expired the night of Aug. 25, 2020.
