(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 20 - The driver of a pickup truck yesterday invested several people gathered for a gaypride parade in the United States, killing at least one man.
The US media reported it.
The incident, which is not yet known whether it was a deliberate assault, occurred at the start of the LGBTQ parade in the town of Wilton Manors, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale.
The driver of the vehicle was stopped and arrested and then by the police.
The vehicle lined up with the participants, but then accelerated and hit several people.
At least one man died, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, attending the parade, told Local 10 News. According to him, the van was actually aimed at the car of Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was in a convertible but narrowly missed it. "This is a terrorist attack on the LGBT community," said Trantalis. "It is not an accident at all. It was intentional, premeditated and aimed at a specific person." (HANDLE).
