US Christmas parade ends in tragedy – one man guilty

An SUV rammed into a crowd of people at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin in the US, with fatalities and injuries

The terrible tragedy happened when the Christmas parade was almost over in the city. Five people were killed and 48 injured, including two children in a very critical condition as a result of the vehicle collision.

US police believe one person was responsible for the tragedy. Metropolitan Police Chief Dan Thompson said law enforcement authorities had concluded that the motorist who rammed into the city’s Christmas parade in Waukesha Township acted alone.

“The suspect was taken into custody near the scene. We are confident that he acted alone”, –  Dan Thompson said at a press conference.

US police have ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack.
