A Western Kentucky University student organization has invited Kyle Rittenhouse to speak on the university’s campus on March 27. Rittenhouse received national attention after killing two protesters and shooting a third during a racial justice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020.
Rittenhouse, 18 at the time, was acquitted at a criminal trial in 2021.
