A Wisconsin man was arrested & accused of driving a red SUV into a crowd at a Waukesha Christmas parade on the city's Main Street, as revelers watched in horror.
Darrell Brooks, 39, was booked on suspicion of five counts of intentional homicide.
The victims were women aged 79, 71, 52 and 52, and a man, 81, was also killed. 48 people were injured, including 2 children in critical condition.
Brooks, a local rapper who goes by the name Mathboi Fly, was involved in a domestic incident involving a knife before the crash, but it’s not clear who the victim was.
Brooks had fled scene of that domestic incident just as officers were arriving & then got redirected to the parade.
An officer opened fire on the SUV but quickly stopped shooting, believing there were too many people nearby. No was was hit by gunfire.
On Monday, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office released a summary of pending charges against Brooks, which include charges of second-degree recklessly endangering safety & felon in possession of a firearm from July 2020.
