A prosecutor in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Monday accused the teen of provoking the “entire incident” that led to the shooting of three people during riots and unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year.

Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger during closing arguments said the jury should ignore Rittenhouse’s defense claim that he was attacked and fired his weapon, injuring one and killing two. Binger said that Rittenhouse initiated the encounter by brandishing his gun.
