A US teenager who shot and killed two men during racial justice protests has been cleared of homicide after claiming self-defence.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, killed two men and wounded a third on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020.
During the high profile and politically divisive trial, his defence said he had feared for his life. Prosecutors argued he was looking for trouble that night.
National Guard troops have been sent to the city amid fears of unrest.
