Fake News Alert: Newspaper says Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black people
The Independent, a leading UK newspaper, caused outrage when it claimed in a headline that Kyle Rittenhouse “shot three black men.” All three men shot by Rittenhouse were, in fact, white.
Shortly after a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin found Rittenhouse not guilty of murder, attempted murder and reckless endangerment, The Independent updated its front-page live coverage of the trial with the headline: “Full story: Teenager who shot three black men with rifle found not guilty on all charges.”
