The police went on to report that when speaking to Ziminski, and his wife who was present at the time, both admitted that he had fired off a “warning shot” into the air.  This strengthened the case that Rittenhouse had reason to fear for his life and was acting in self defense.

The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”}}
