WAUKESHA, WI (WHBL) – Officials in Waukesha, Wisconsin say at least five people are dead and more than 40 others are injured after an SUV plowed through a Christmas parade Sunday evening. Of those injured, several are children.
Mayor Shawn Reilly issued a statement saying they “faced horror and tragedy in what should have been a community celebration.” He went on to say that his heart goes out to all those affected by what he called a “senseless act.”
The parade was being live streamed on Facebook when the incident occurred. At least one video shows members of a marching band being hit and screams heard.
The SUV has since been found and a person of interest is in custody, but police aren’t saying if it’s the driver.
