Waukesha, Wisconsin, police say at least 23 people were injured after a red SUV ran through the city’s Christmas parade, plowing into many people, including small children.
Authorities said 11 adults and 12 pediatric patients were transported to six area hospitals. Their conditions are not clear; they said some people died, but they did not have a number of deaths.
Local residents reported many people lying on the ground, injured or dead. A law enforcement source said one of two suspects are in custody; another is being sought.
A woman wrote Heavy, “(A relative) lives in Waukesha, a black guy with dreads knocked on her door shortly after the incident at the parade. She wouldn’t let him in and he proceeded to go across the street trying to break into a building. My daughter called 911 with a description and they said they think he was driving the SUV that drove into all the people.”

Molly Beck of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported about Waukesha School Board member Corey Montiho, who said his daughter’s dance team was part of the crowd hit by the red Ford Escape SUV.
“They were pom-poms and shoes and spilled hot chocolate everywhere. I had to go from one crumpled body to the other to find my daughter. My wife and two daughters were almost hit.”
