Terror In Wisconsin: At Least 5 Dead, More Than 40 Injured After Man Driving SUV Plows Through Christmas Parade
An SUV plowed into a holiday parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Sunday, killing five people and injuring more than 40 others, the city says. Videos of the incident posted on social media showed a red SUV speeding around the parade marchers and eventually hitting a group of participants. At a news conference Sunday night, Police Chief Dan Thompson said the SUV had been located and a person of interest was in custody. A law enforcement official familiar with the early findings of the investigation told CBS News it appeared the suspect was fleeing another scene — possibly a knife fight — when he ran into the people at the parade.
