A car drove through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday afternoon,
leaving at least five people dead and more than 40 injured, including children, authorities said.
Dozens of emergency officials responded after the incident around 4:40 p.m. local time. A livestream video of the event appears to show
a red SUV speeding through the parade route, troubling those gathered on the street. A police vehicle is seen rushing through the crowd soon afterward before the attendees begin to disperse.
The city's police chief, Dan Thompson, said authorities have identified
one person of interest who is in custody, although he added that officers were still probing a "very fluid investigation." The chief added that the scene was safe and there were no further threats to the public.
At least 11 adults and 12 children were transported to six area hospitals after the incident. Many more people took themselves to the hospital, authorities said. Officials did not provide any further details about the ages of those who died.
"Tonight was a traumatic situation for the city of Waukesha," the city's mayor, Shawn Reilly, said. "We don't have all the details. We can't provide details at this point."
Comment: Waukesha is about 60 miles' drive from Kenosha, suggesting a potential motive; someone didn't like the outcome of the Rittenhouse trial.
Remember when someone drove his car into a crowd of people in Charlottesville in 2017, killing ONE, and everyone from there to Timbuktu was force-fed the video of it happening and the mugshot of the 'white supremacist' who did it?
In this instance, the media is 'respecting the victims' by not repeatedly showing footage of it, and most certainly not mentioning the facts - uncovered by citizen journalists doing what the media dare not do - that the perpetrator is a BLACK FAR-LEFT SYMPATHIZER WITH A LONG CRIMINAL RECORD...
There's footage of the terror attack in the second half of this video [it's grainy and filmed from a distance, so although it's of course disturbing, it's not graphic]:
Here's footage of the terrorist beginning his attack by entering the street on which the parade took place:
