While thousands of people have paid tribute for two days to the victims of a terrible attack during a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the toll has just increased on Tuesday.
Among the deceased, a child is indeed added to the sad list.
At around 4:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. KST) on Sunday, Darrell Brooks Jr, a 39-year-old man, ripped through the crowd in his red SUV, killing five people instantly and injuring nearly 70 others.
This resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin's main metropolis located about thirty kilometers from Waukesha, has been charged with homicide.
"According to our information, the suspect was involved in a domestic dispute a few moments before" and "there is no evidence that it is a terrorist act," said Daniel Thompson, the police chief of Waukesha, where the events took place, without specifying the driver's motives.
The vehicle burst behind a high school marching band.
Brooks was driving at a much faster speed than the vehicles in the parade and he continued to drive after hitting dozens of participants, according to video footage from witnesses.
He first injured young girls who were members of a dance association and a priest.
He killed three female members of the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies, an 81-year-old man who was helping them, as well as a Citizen Bank employee, who was walking next to a tank.
A police officer fired at the vehicle and the driver was arrested shortly after the incident.
