Kyle Rit­ten­house, the teen accused of fatal­ly shoot­ing two peo­ple dur­ing protests in Kenosha, Wis., has been released from jail on a $2 mil­lion bond, reports said Friday.

His release, at 2 p.m., was con­firmed by the Kenosha Coun­ty Sheriff’s Department.

The bond was han­dled by his attor­ney, said Pub­lic Infor­ma­tion Offi­cer Sgt. David Wright. It was not imme­di­ate­ly clear who foot­ed the bill.

Rit­ten­house, 17, insists he was act­ing in self-defense on Aug. 25, when police say he killed pro­test­ers Antho­ny Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosen­baum, 36, and wound­ed a third man.
