Protest march for Blake as Kenosha curfew looms

Protesters marched through the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin late Wednesday as tension remains high over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake.

A white, 17-year-old police admirer was arrested Wednesday after two people were shot to death during a third straight night of protests in Kenosha over Blake's shooting.

Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, about 15 miles from Kenosha, was taken into custody in Illinois on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide in the rifle attack Tuesday night that was largely captured on cellphone video.

A third person was wounded.

Blake's shooting set off three nights of unrest in the city midway between Milwaukee and Chicago.

In the wake of the killings, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers authorized the sending of 500 members of the National Guard to Kenosha, doubling the number of troops.

The governor's office said he is working with other states to bring in additional National Guard members and law officers. Authorities also announced a 7 p.m. curfew, an hour earlier than the night before.
