Great mug shot.

The teenage gunman charged with killing two Black Lives Matter protesters in Wisconsin this summer walked out of jail Friday afternoon after posting $2 million bail.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was released from custody around 2 p.m. and handed over to his own security detail after his attorneys posted bond on his behalf, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.

Supporters have been donating money for his bail, and a lawyer Friday said cash from former “Silver Spoons” and “NYPD Blue” actor Ricky Schroeder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell helped spring Rittenhouse.

“KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS OUT OF JAIL.” attorney Lin Wood tweeted. “God bless ALL who donated to help #FightBack raise required $2M cash bail. Special thanks to Actor Ricky Schroder ... & Mike Lindell ... for putting us over the top.”

The Illinois teen faces a series of felony charges, including intentional homicide and reckless endangerment, in the shooting of three men during a chaotic protest on Aug. 25. Two of the victims, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, died that same night.

The civil unrest in the southern Wisconsin city of Kenosha was sparked by the police shooting of unarmed Black man Jacob Blake, who was shot in the back seven times just days earlier.
