Waukesha Parade Shooting, Car Running Into People
Wisconsin, police say they “are having an emergency with a scene unfolding” in response to reports, from multiple people there, of a car running through the city’s Christmas parade and shots being fired.
Local residents told Heavy that their loved ones were barricaded in stores after a vehicle drove through the crowd with someone firing gunshots from it.
They reported people lying on the ground, injured.This live video may have captured the vehicle, screams, and a law enforcement officer running.
Kaylee Staral, whose Twitter page describes her as a business reporting intern with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, wrote on Twitter, “UPDATE: A car just ran through the middle of a downtown Waukesha parade. Multiple people on the ground injured.” She wrote that police were shouting that 30 people were injured.
Police did not confirm (or deny) that a shooting occurred or the information about a car running into people at the parade.
They said only the above statement on the emergency and then hung up because the incident was still unfolding.
That was as of 5 p.m. on November 21, 2021. But Heavy has obtained reports from multiple people with relatives at the scene, as well as social media accounts that all say the same thing:
Multiple people are injured after a car or truck plowed through a barricade and into the parade and shots were fired.
