Kenosha police, Sheriff's Department facing $20 million in damage claims related to Kyle Rittenhouse

The Kenosha Police Department and the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department could each be held liable for up to $20 million in civil damages connected to the Aug. 25 shootings by Kyle Rittenhouse.

Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, of West Allis, who was seriously wounded, and the parents of Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake, who was killed, have each served $10 million claim notices with both the city and county.

Claim notices usually are precursors to lawsuits filed against local governments.

Both men, along with Joseph Rosenbaum, were shot by Rittenhouse during a night of protests and civil unrest following the Kenosha police shooting of Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Rittenhouse has been charged with five felonies, including first-degree intentional homicide. He said he fired his AR-15 rifle in self-defense.
