A person is in custody in the parade massacre Sunday in Waukesha, Wisconsin, police said.
Five people were killed and more than 40 people were injured Sunday when a vehicle was driven into the Christmas parade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Waukesha Police Chief Daniel P. Thompson said “a person of interest” is in custody.
“This is still a very fluid investigation,” he said Sunday night.
On Sunday afternoon, a red Ford SUV was driven through multiple barricades and then struck people marching in the parade.
Karol Markowicz, a journalist who writes for Fox News, the New York Post, the Washington Examiner and the Spectator, reported the identity of the suspect late Sunday.
“Darrell E. Brooks, black male, late 30s is the suspect in custody in Waukesha,” she tweeted.
NBC News reported being told by “four senior law enforcement officials” that the person being held had a criminal history and might have been fleeing from a knife fight at the time of the tragedy.
