There are multiple reports of a vehicle driving through a crowd at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin. Numerous witnesses claim a car sped through the holiday parade in Waukesha – about an hour northwest from Kenosha. There are also reports of gunshots, but it is not verified.

The Waukesha Alerts Twitter account – which provides police and fire alerts for the city – reported a “mass casualty incident” just before 6 p.m.

Shortly after 6 p.m., the official Facebook for the Waukesha Police Department advised, “Please avoid the downtown area for the time being.” The police department announced a “family reunification location.”

“A car ran through the middle of the Waukesha Christmas Parade Sunday evening, leaving multiple people injuries,” according to a report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
