A man drove his Ford Escape into the Parade route and rammed it through barricades, according to the City of Waukesha’s Twitter account. Officials said that it is possible for the number of injured/dead to change, and that this situation could be fluid.
We can currently confirm that five people have died and more than 40 others are hurt. These numbers could change as more information is collected. Many individuals have self-transported themselves to nearby hospitals. The person in question is held by the Police Department.

Reports immediately following the incident claimed that law enforcement officers were looking for three suspects, but the tweet from the official city account said that “the” person of interest is in custody. Nick Arama reported earlier that the man believed to have been Darrell Brooks (a late-twenty-year-old black man) who was released from his most recent criminal charges Friday, November 19.
