Jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial have reached a verdict.
It’s not immediately clear when the verdict will be announced. Deliberations began on Tuesday.
Emotions have been running high in anticipation of the verdict, with Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers deploying National Guard troops to Kenosha.
Rittenhouse faces five charges, including intentional homicide, for shootings that killed two men and injured a third during last year’s riots in Kenosha.
The case has left Americans divided over whether Rittenhouse, 18, was a patriot taking a stand against lawlessness or a vigilante.
Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, were killed in the shootings, and Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, was wounded.

A seventh count against the teen for violating curfew on the night of the shootings was also dismissed after the judge ruled that prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence.

FREE KYLE / SELF-DEFENSE IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE
NN,
Kyle was just ACQUITTED and is now officially FREE!
This was a victory for the truth, for justice, and for every American's God-given and unalienable right of self-defense.
We are so overcome with emotion, and as hard as that was, we are thankful.
We are thankful for the millions of Americans who stood with Kyle from the start.
We are thankful for the many others who watched the trial with an open mind, realized that they had been lied to for a year and a half, and spoke out.
And we are thankful to the jury which put aside bias, considered the facts, and came to the right decision.
Now, we will try to return to something that resembles a normal life – however that requires one more major push to settle our case-related debts and pay off what we hope will be our final legal bills.
So please, take all that positive energy I know you're feeling and make an urgent donation to help us close this very ugly chapter in our lives.
Any funds left over will be transferred into Kyle's scholarship fund so that he'll be able to graduate from college debt-free.
You'll be hearing from us again, but for now, and from the bottom of our hearts � thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
With love,
Wendy Rittenhouse
