Source: Screenshot via Twitter Following Sunday evening’s mass casualty event in which a vehicle plowed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, authorities provided more information in a press conference held around 8:00 p.m. central time.
Speaking to reporters, Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson provided scant details about a responsible party or potential motivation, only saying that authorities have a “person of interest in custody” along with the red SUV that “struck more than 20 individuals” causing “some fatalities.” Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said there were multiple fatalities but is not releasing more details at this time.
Thompson said a person is in custody and police have recovered the vehicle involved.

Mayor of Waukesha Sean Riley called the events of Sunday evening a “horrible, senseless tragedy” and noted his city’s Christmas parade “is a celebration for our community” while thanking those who “sprang into action.”

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
