Waukesha, Wisconsin Police address the Christmas parade crash | USA Today

Authorities were determining Monday whether the driver of an SUV that hurtled through a barricade and slammed into a Christmas parade in suburban Waukesha on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring more than 40, may have been fleeing another crime.

At least six children remain in critical condition after the car rammed through the parade, striking a high school band, children's dance group and the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies. The city's livestream captured the stunning video of the crash, and Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said the number of dead and injured could change because many people took themselves to hospitals in the chaotic minutes after the tragedy.

Children's Wisconsin Hospital received 18 patients from the ages of 3 to 16, including three sets of siblings, doctors say.

    1. @Dreadnaught Zero Twitter and Facebook are NOT reliable news sources! Seriously!?! Are you kidding me???
      You do not have telepathic abilities. So quit your bs and wait, like everyone else, what the police investigation will bring. Maybe they’ll prove you right. If that’s so then great. But until then: you do not know.

    2. @pruna blue pepper for the record every one of these last controversial Court rulings have all included peoples social media including Facebook. So it seems the court and law enforcement both disagree with you on the reliability of someone’s Social Media profile being admissible as evidence Why do you think that is?

    1. @TheU2001 MIA Repeating word for word what they say for irony’s sake, is stooping to whale dung levels of moral character?

    2. @TheU2001 MIA the left does what they want and you take it, time to start pushing back no more tolerance and no more defense. how much land must be lost and blood be shed before you stop being civil to savages?

  1. He purposely ran over 50+ people. How is there no evidence of terrorism? I’ve watched multiple videos of the incident, he wasn’t honking or doing anything to get people out of the way

    1. @Ian-Devon Lewis What’s next, “lol stuff people said doesn’t provide insight into their beliefs”? Idiotic.

    1. I’m going to attach an SUV to the bottom of my AR to make it more effective should I have to defend myself one day with it.

    1. Let me tell you a quick secret my guy. The world always has been, and will continue to be, FAR more unsettling than this incident ever can be.

  2. This is ridiculous. Did any of them actually condemn the attack? Seems to me there is more of a focus on the officer that discharged his weapon than the individual that plowed through a christmas parade.

  3. I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn’t mean security rather having different investments is the real deal.

    1. The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and loss of jobs caused by covid 19 pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures.

    2. Well I’m so happy I just got into crypto trading and I made my first profit, I wish I knew about crypto earlier I would have made a lot of money by now.

    3. I’ve been getting a lot of people who doubted crypto currency trading before, now asking me how to go in they could have made 80-180x gains when I pushed them before. But now I’m earning $43,523 trading with a professional broker, Clinton Famous, funny how these things work out.

    4. I also got a chance to benefit from his services a few months ago and it has been a very smooth experience, it’s amazing how accurate his market analysis are, and how good and patient he is with newbies.

  4. Let me guess, he was an aspiring rapper? He was such a good boy, always helping people. He would give the shirt off his back. Then he would run you over and take it back!!!! POS!

  5. Anytime there’s a crime of this magnitude you can guess with about 98% accuracy the race of both the victims and perpetrator just by how the media covers it.
