Children Among Victims of SUV That Rammed People in Christmas Parade

The number of individuals injured because of the SUV was not disclosed by the authorities, but Police Chief Dan Thompson said that more than 20 people were struck by the said vehicle on Sunday.

Meanwhile, specifics about the injured were also not shared by the officials. However, Waukesha's fire department chief, who was not named, said that 11 adults and 12 children were rushed to six different hospitals in the area, The Daily Mail reported. The outlet furthered that several elderly women, who were part of the "Dancing Grannies," and schoolgirl's dance team member were among the victims of the incident.

Aspire Dance Studio reportedly had 70 girls who participated in the event. The studio's co-owner, Chris Germain, said that during the incident, he gathered all the girls with him as he described what the surroundings looked like during that time.

"Small children were laying all over the road, there were police officers and EMTs doing CPR on multiple members of the parade, Germain pointed out.

Meanwhile, Thompson called the scene "chaotic," mentioning that some of the victims were brought by the police to the hospitals while others were brought to the medical facilities by their families.

A video that surfaced on social media on Sunday showed a red SUV at high speed as it slammed with the people in the Christmas parade.

In a top view video posted by the Post Millenial on Twitter, the SUV rammed on its way the individuals who took part in the Christmas parade. People were then seen running to the victims as the SUV made its way through the crowd.

Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly called the incident a "horrible, senseless tragedy," as he extended his thoughts on the victims of the tragedy, those who witnessed the incident, and those who lost a loved one.
