A 17-year-old has been arrested after two people were fatally shot and another injured in Kenosha, Wisc., on Tuesday night, during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth, Kenosha Police Chief Dan Miskinis, Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser, and Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian spoke to the media Wednesday afternoon. They confirmed the arrest of the suspect, who is being charged as an adult, and faced difficult questions about what happened Tuesday night in the hours before, during, and after the shooting which claimed two lives.

Videos from Kenosha show a young white man firing at protesters during an encounter late Tuesday. The suspect appeared to be carrying an AR-15-style rifle and standing guard with a militia group earlier in the night, multiple videos show.

Demonstrators were decrying the police shooting of Blake, a Black man officers shot in the back multiple times on Sunday afternoon while he was trying to climb into his SUV. It was the third consecutive night of protests in the city of Kenosha related to the shooting.
