Original Note:
Joshua Ziminski did indeed fire a shot moments before the Rittenhouse incident unfolded. It is unknown if he pointed the weapon at Rittenhouse, though. Police charges did not include attempted murder; they were for "disorderly conduct-use of a dangerous weapon". https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2020/10/15/kenosha-protester-charged-firing-gun-prior-rittenhouse-shots/3667399001/
