Demonstrators clashed at Western Kentucky University, in Bowling Green, on Wednesday, March 27, outside a student event hosting Kyle Rittenhouse, who famously shot and killed two people at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in 2020.

The university chapter of the conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA hosted the on-campus event, where Rittenhouse was set to speak about the importance of the Second Amendment and the lies of BLM.

In 2020, Rittenhouse shot three people at a BLM protest in Wisconsin, killing two of them. He pleaded self-defense and was acquitted in 2021.
