An Illinois teenager who fatally shot two people and wounded a third amid summer protests on the streets of Kenosha, Wis., pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges including intentional homicide. Hours after the plea, a Wisconsin prosecutor announced he will not file criminal charges against the white police officer who shot Blake. Sheskey, 31, has been the subject of five internal investigations since he joined the Kenosha department in 2013, including three reprimands for crashing his squad car three times over three years. He opened fire with an assault-style rifle during protests two nights after Blake's shooting, killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. "[Sheskey] tried to kill my son and could have killed my grandchildren," Jacob Blake Sr. said during a news conference before the march.
