KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha County court commissioner set bail at $2 million bail Monday afternoon for the 17-year-old accused of shooting three protesters, killing two of them during civil unrest in Kenosha in late August.
Court Commissioner Loren Keating made the decision during a virtual hearing Monday afternoon.
The defendant, Kyle Rittenhouse, is charged with five felonies in connection to the shooting.
Rittenhouse was extradited to Kenosha from Illinois following a judge’s order last week.
Rittenhouse’s next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 3 at 10:30 a.m.
