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.
11 adults and 12 children were transported to six hospitals. — Molly Beck (@MollyBeck) November 22, 2021 Chief Thompson refrained from providing a concrete number of fatalities because next of kin were still being notified and therefore his department would “not release information on fatalities at this time.”
Waukesha Fire Chief Steven Howard stated that there were 23 individuals — 11 adults and 12 “pediatric patients” — transported to six area hospitals. The fire department’s response time was helped by the fact some vehicles and personnel were taking part in the parade and on the scene almost immediately. Chief Howard explained that his department’s mass casualty protocol was activated along with a second alarm that drew help from 12 other departments to assist with victims.
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.”
Police Chief Thompson reiterated earlier statements responding to reports of gunfire during the incident saying no shots were fired from the SUV but at least one law enforcement officer fired at the vehicle as it raced through the Christmas parade route and subsequently fled. Chief Thompson said the officer who fired “to try and stop the vehicle” had been with his department for more than six years. Waukesha police chief confirms multiple fatalities.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
