Police in Wisconsin say they have taken a person of interest into custody after an SUV drove into a Christmas parade in the city of Waukesha on Sunday night, killing five people and injuring at least 40 more.
Local police chief Dan Thompson said in a press conference that his department had detained the man in question and seized the red Ford Escape driven in the incident but that he did not yet know whether the driver’s actions had any connection to terrorism.
Witnesses described the car as having accelerated along the parade route and “going from side to side, targeting people”.
