Overnight Sunday/Monday Waukesha police confirmed that 5 people were killed and 40 people were injured. Initially, police did not confirm the number that were killed at two press conferences.
Police, firefighters and paramedics responded just after 4:39 p.m. Sunday, November 21, 2021 to a report multiple people were injured when the driver of a red SUV plowed into a crowd and injured pedestrians in a Christmas Parade near Main Street and Barstow Street in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
A ‘person of interest’ is in custody, and the vehicle used in the attack was found backed into a long driveway with a bullet hole in the windshield near the intersections of Maple Avenue and Arlington Street and Maple Avenue and Williams Street. The offender’s vehicle, described as a burgundy older model Ford Escape SUV was found in a residential neighborhood about a 3500-foot traveling distance southwest of the vehicle-ramming crime scene at Main Street and Barstow Street in Waukesha.
Police have said that no shots were fired from the vehicle, but a six-year veteran of the police department fired shots at the vehicle in an attempt to stop the vehicle.
In the aftermath, a power failure occurred at or near the scene, and a lockdown “shelter in place” was activated for a short time period Sunday night.
The next press conference is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Monday, November 22, 2021.
