The shooting left Blake paralyzed from the waist down.And on Thursday, things got a little bit worse for Wentz, after Cowherd called him out wearing his hat backwards during a press conference after the Eagles' latest loss.

Numerous officers saw Rittenhouse before and after the shootings but never asked him for identification, detained him or disarmed him, and let him walk past them even though people were yelling that he had shot people and he still had his rifle slung over his chest, according to the lawsuit.
