What we know so far
At least five people were killed and more than 40 were injured when an SUV plowed into a Christmas parade Sunday in Waukesha, Wisconsin, city officials said.
Children are among the injured.
Police said they have "a person of interest in custody," but would not say whether it was the driver of the SUV nor if any arrests have been made.

1. What a tragedy

All of this is probably spillover from the Rittenhouse travesty.

3. Thank you for the post.

Also just found some info from Wonkette sources (NYT, USA Today)...

Children's Wisconsin is a hospital that exclusively treats pediatric patients and a spokesperson said 15 people were admitted on Sunday. Aurora Medical Center-Summit in Waukesha County said it was treating 13 patients and listed three in critical condition, four in serious condition, and six in fair condition. Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, a Level I trauma center that cares for the most critically ill patients, also confirmed it was treating victims of the parade attack.

The police fired at the SUV as it fled the scene. The vehicle was later recovered and the suspect is in custody. There are reportedly indications the suspect was fleeing another incident. Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said the investigation is ongoing, but there's currently no evidence of terrorism. Despite what you might've read on Twitter, there's yet no reason to believe the attack is connected to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict just because it occurred in Wisconsin.

The Dancing Grannies mourned the loss of their members in a Facebook post:

Our group was doing what they loved, performing in front of crowds in a parade putting smiles on faces of all ages, filling them with joy and happiness. While performing the grannies enjoyed hearing the crowds cheers and applause which certainly brought smiles to their faces and warmed their hearts.

Those who died were extremely passionate Grannies. Their eyes gleamed ..... joy of being a Grannie. They were the glue....held us together.

The Waukesha School District announced that all public schools are canceled Monday, as the community copes with this vicious act of violence.
