beginning. i saw the happy children sitting on the curb and happy parents behind their children. i can still see the smiling faces. a parade is a celebration for our community. today our community faced horror and tragedy in what should have been a community celebration. i'm deeply saddened to know that so many in our community went to a parade but ended up dealing with injury and heartache. my heart goes out to all those affected by this senseless act. my heart goes out to those injured as well as to their families. my heart goes out to those who were witness to these events. my heart goes out to those who lost a loved one tonight. i want to thank all those who sprang into action tonight to provide help and comfort to those injured. i pray for all those that were injured that they recover. pray for those who lost a loved one. thank you to our police and fire

departments as well as many other the that have helped the city of waukesha. there are other departments, the county, the state, the federal government has contacted me. they've all asked how they can help. i know that our first responders are also deeply affected by the vents of today and i pray for them and that they find healing and that everyone involved in this situation finds healing. chief? >> thank you, mayor. today's tragic incident occurred on november 21st, 2021 at 4:39 p.m. at the casper avenue and main street. the waukesha christmas parade was taking place when a red suv drove through the barricades westbound heading down main street. >> can you speak up, please? >> yes, i can. >> the vehicle struck more than 20 individuals, some of the individuals were children and some fatalities as a result of

this incident. we will not release information on the fatalities at this time while we're working on notifying the family members of the deceased. an officer did discharge his weapon at suspect vehicle to try to stop the vehicle, no bystanders were injured by a result of the weapon discharge. he's been with the department for six and a half years. victims were transferred by waukesha fire department to the hospital. the chief will speak on that. police officers also transferred victims to the hospital and family members also transferred victims from the scene to the hospital. we're no longer looking for a suspect vehicle. we do have a person of interest in custody at the moment but this is still a very fluid investigation. i was present at this event and saw firsthand the resiliency of a community coming together.

i also want to thank all law enforcement partners, both federal, state dci, state patrol, waukesha county sheriff's department, brooke field police department and fbi, atf and partners that responded to a system of this tragedy. unknown at this time whether an incident is an act of terrorism. to the families involved, you're in waukesha police department's thoughts and prayers. to the waukesha community, this scene is now safe and secure. i'll take a few questions at this time. >> chief howard can speak about the victims? >> thank you. >> sorry. >> no problem. >> thank you. i was goiiing to provide brief information on the patients. the city of waukesha was part of the parade, normally have an engine in the parade.

as soon as calls came in we heard radio traffic and immediately responded from five of our stations. we activated our mass casualty protocols and used the box alarm system and activated a box to the second alarm. that means we received assistance not only from the five fire stations with all personnel on duty from approximately 12 other fire departments. the city of waukesha fire department and its partners transported a total of 11 adults and 12 pediatric patients to six area hospitals. we do not have any specifics on the injuries at this time. all of the patients were transported. there are -- there were some fatalities. we do not have any detailed information on the fatalities at this time. >> mayor? >> real quick.

>> we open up for a few questions for all three, mayor, police chief. >> how many people were killed? >> out of respect for the family members, we still have notifications to do so that number and to be honest, the inces investigation is still fluid so i don't have a number to give you. >> the marching band in the video, what school was that? the marching band that the car drove through. >> i couldn't even tell you what band was playing at that time. >> the shelter in place alert was issued at 7:05 and all clear. is that coming? >> great question. so the reason why that's shelter in place call came because we're still doing a canvass, still on going crime scene. so we don't want members of the community coming into the crime scene so we wanted the members of the community to shelter in place so that's why that alert went out. >> is that still in effect, chief? >> no. it is not.

>> was that person struck by the officer's gun? >> that's still on going investigation of how many are involved at this time. we're still working those details out. >> mayor can you confirm schools are closed tomorrow. >> are schools in waukesha closed tomorrow? >> we don't know at this time. >> how long do you expect the street to be closed. >> excuse me, earlier you said you were unaware of gunshots from the vehicle. can you clarify? >> at this time we don't believe there are any shots fired from the vehicle. we believe the officer fireed to stop the vehicle. >> when did the person of interest say when you took them into custody. >> that's all the questions we'll take now. any more information will come out in social media accounts. that's all we can put out tonight at this time. thank you.

>> there you heard officials speaking there in waukesha, wisconsin. reporter still trying to ask questions there but we just learned some really sad news tonight. you heard the police chief there say that there were some fatalities as a result of what happened there earlier today in downtown waukesha when a car plowed through a holiday parade. we know 11 adults and 12 kids were transported to the hospital according to one of the officials to six area hospitals. we know there were some fatalities among the 11 adults and 12 kids. we don't have any more details about the victims, how many fatalities. you heard the police chief there say they're still notifying

families and so forth and not ready to give a specific number. this is clearly still in the very early stages as this unfolds and one person is now in custody so that is a major development as well. they have one person of interest in custody. joining us now is cnn national security analyst and former assistant secretary of homeland security juliette and with me former acting baltimore police commissioner anthony barksdale. that was just such a sobering press conference, juliette, to know that there were several fatalities that children are among the victims and now they have a person of interest in custody. >> right. >> what stuck out to you from this? >> so, the family notification is taking a little bit longer than they anticipated because they pushed this press

conference. we have to respect that order. we'll get a number larger than one but we don't know. mass casualty event is just a way to describe an incident with fatalities and injuries so we don't know what combination of that 20 is fatalities but this is a serious event and one that doesn't happen all the time. so obviously, we are interested in the motive issue. they have someone, this is -- that they have someone in custody that that person is a person of interest either the owner of the car or someone affiliated with the car and that they have waived now the shelter in place as well as notified the public that there is no on going harm. they are beginning to build a case about motive. they are beginning to build a case about who this person is and why they feel confident of in greater threat. that's no consolation now because a lot of people are suffering but it does go

throughout the nation that this is not a part of anything bigger and that's important going into this weekend and this week. >> that is certainly important. we also found out anthony we've been hearing throughout the night from eyewitnesss that shots were fired. the police chief said an officer discharged his weapon to try to stop the vehicle clearly police there trying to intervene to stop the mayhem. here is one video we have from someone who is able to record this. we also have that video on the parade route from waukesha, the wha waukesha city live streaming it and you saw the car going by this marching band, going fast as you can see not actually hitting anyone in this screen grab that we have from the feed. what do you make now after this information that we just heard from this press conference and

piece together with the videos and so forth? >> i feel that the police officer whoever he or she is tried to do their best in this incident. it's usually not best practice to shoot at a moving vehicle but when you've got a huge truck moving towards citizens you don't just stand there so the officer did what he or she thought was the right thing and also the detectives really would be focused now on the detectives being sure that they put together a tight case for whoever this person of interest is, be sure that the prosecutors are involved very early on with this process even, you know, there, right there with the

officers while they conduct this interrogation of this person of interest. but this is something where the citizens of the city and law enforcement, they came together p from what we're hearing and it a tragedy but i'm happy they cared enough, they love each other enough to come together during an event like this. >> yeah. again, we're finding out from the police there multiple fatalities after the car ran through the christmas parade. 23 people. 11 adults. 12 kids. we just got in this video shot from waukesha resident jesus that shows the red suv rushing past him and his family before it hit several people further down the block. we want to warn you, it's

disturbing disturbing. >> oh my god! [speaking foreign language]. >> oh my god! oh my god, no! [speaking foreign language]. >> oh my god no.

>> back up! back up! back up! >> wow. cnn national security analyst juliette i'll bring you in and anthony barksdale. we just saw that video. i think we'll rerack it for the viewers here. it shows how close the red su vr v came to hitting the person in pink and kept on going. and the parade kept on going, right? they largely didn't know what

was unfolding up ahead and we don't know the timing of that but what struck me is if this was someone that wanted to cause as much harm as possible, they had a lot more people to hit there, juliette. what do you make of that? >> yes, and at the beginning of when this evening started, there was a lot of speculation about what this could be. obviously, we do worry about terrorism but looking at the way the car was maneuvering through a parade, the fact that the car seemed to already be damaged before it entered the parade, that would say to me just looking at that there might be other explanations and why does that matter? one, you don't want the wrong explanation going out because people make assumptions and do stupid things and react if it's racially or ethnically motivated. people need to keep their heads

on straight. the other reason if this is an incident unrelated to an intentional disruption of a holiday parade, that will ease a lot of concerns of every mayor and police chief throughout the united states who are looking at, you know, the next four weeks of endless parades and events and so it is important that we, that we understand what this narrative is and that we clamp down on false narratives so been doing this a long time. that's what the evidence is looking at. we don't know specifically but there are certainly a variety of potential explanations at this stage and that's why we want to wait the police are telling us they're not 2telling us much about motivation. i wish they would because we need to get ahead of social media and others. >> but i guess it was a clue that they said when they came out initially and said there was no on going threat. >> yes.

>> from my experience, that tells you a little bit of something, right? that they had some information or evidence that this was contained. go ahead. >> exactly and that they lifted the shelter in place order. once again, this is important because every mayor and police chief looked at that four hours ago and said holy heck, i got a problem because i've got these eight, ten, 12 parades going on in the next week. if there is a belief it is something bigger than say a police chase gone terribly awry and that's why we wait. we were on yesterday together. i'm very -- the police if they know and can close out motives they really should in this day in age of social media when people will use it for their own political purposes and so that's just something police departments have to learn. >> yeah.

that we got to get some information out there soon. it's just so heartbreaking seeing this video, too, and these families and these children that are out there just trying to enjoy the holiday spirit and for this to happen and to know that children were among the victims we don't know who was among the fatalities but the police chief said that there were some fatalities so we're waiting to learn more about that just really tragic development in this as this breaking news unfolds and we learn more police now interviewing a person of interest, person of interest in custody tonight. thank you both. we'll be back with you later and the breaking news continues after this short break. ozzarellk when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast heartburn relief in every bite. crunchy outside, chewy inside. ♪ tums, tums, tums, tums ♪ tums chewy bites (rapping) hah i do what i want when i want it

if you're just tuning in, multiple dead dead in waukesha, wisconsin.

as least 20 injured when a vehicle plowed into a crowd of people gathered to watch a holiday parade. some of the videos are horrifying including one by waukesha resident jesus achoa. we want to warn you, it is disturbing and shows victims injured when the car drove through the holiday parade in wau waukesha

waukesha. >> c nrknn natasha chen was at briefing. we learn there had are several fatalities. we know the ems said they t transported 11 adults, 12 kids. some people self-transported. it's just such a sad development in the story knowing that several died from this. >> reporter: pamela, i think everybody wanted to know how many people have died. that was one question that was

asked here at the press conference but they simply don't have a number to give us right now. they said that they are still in the process of informing families and informing loved ones and frankly, the police chief said this number may be fluid right now given that they're still treating people in hospitals. so what we weren't able to ask a lot of questions at that last press conference but it does look like we'll get another chance with a new update coming in the next 35 minutes or so. so we'll try to ask some more details then but right now, one of the very crucial things is that they do have a person in custody. a person of interest in custody. they have located the red suv that you've seen in the video clips and one interesting fact is that we probably heard some witnesses say that they heard gunshots. well, the police chief says that at this point they do not believe there were shots actually fired from the vehicle in question, that their law

enforcement on scene did fire at the vehicle in attempts to stop it. so that could potentially be the shots that people heard. right now as you said the focus is on the injured and those killed. they did say more than 20 people injured. they include children. and so this is truly heartbreaking. you know, in speaking to one of the residents who lives in the apartment complex right on main street who watched this happen and recorded it, she said that parents were screaming out the names of their children, that people really jumped into action immediately and that's remarkable just the speed at which law enforcement first responders, members the community jumped in to help each each other. this is a devastating night for a lot of people probably trying to find more information about their loved ones and trying to find out why this happened to e begin with. that's a major question they weren't able to answer in the

last press conference so we don't have anything to report about the motive yet and when somebody tried to ask what did the person of interest say when they were brought into custody, that wasn't answered clearly, either. pa pamela, a lot more questions we'll try to ask at the next update. >> yeah, it is still early on in this investigation. this happened about four hours ago in waukesha and there is still a lot more to learn. thank you so much, natasha. our breaking news continues after this short break. ♪ my songs know what you did in the dark ♪ ♪ so light 'em up, up, up light 'em up, up, up ♪ ♪ light 'em up, up, up ♪ ♪ i'm on fire ♪ ♪ so light 'em up, up, up light 'em up, up, up ♪ ♪ light 'em up, up, up ♪ ♪ i'm on fire ♪ ♪ oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oohohh ♪ ♪ in the dark, dark ♪ new cheetos boneless wings.

a person of interest is in custody after an suv blew past police into a crowd. more than 20 people injured including children and at least one person is confirmed dead. the police chief there said there were some fatalities. last hour we heard from one man at the parade and saw the tragedy unfold. >> i'm a candidate for wisconsin state treasurer so i was marching in the parade with the

waukesha county democrats and after we finished the route, my family and i and my campaign manager decided we wanted to circle back to watch the rest of the parade, grab some food but as we were heading back to main street, i saw an suv speeding along the parade route and then all of a sudden heard a loud bang and then i heard deafening cries, screams from people in atte attendance, people marching the parade. folks started running away from the scene and folks were left their belongings behind holding on this their kids running away from main street where the parade was and then when the crowd cleared out and it happened quickly and first responders came in, ambulances, police officers came in and secured the area but it was

truly horrifying and shocking and very saddening and upsetting. >> because you were in the parade. it waswas a celebration going through the parade route and this happens. what was going through your mind as this hmayhem was unfolding? >> i was truly horrified. the energy at the parade before everything happened was a celebration. this is a huge event in the city of waukesha. folks were -- i was really em priess -- impressed by the turnout, people coming to celebrate but when i saw the vehicle speed and heard the loud bang, i was in shock. i'm still shaken. and a lot of uncertainty a lot of fear, a lot of scaredness for me and my family when this was

all occurring. >> when you saw the vehicle, can you describe any more about what you saw and i know it happened really fast and you're probably thinking about your safety and your family's safety but what did you observe with the vehicle? >> so, i really just got a quick glimpse of it. i saw it speeding along the parade route. i heard it, the engine really putting the throttle down and then heard the loud bang and then from there it happened fast. it was a chaotic scene and very sad scene and very horrifying. so yeah, there is a lot of emotions running through. folks, parents were running around the area looking for their kids, looking for their families, looking for their friends. people quickly trying to get out of the area, trying to get to safety.

so there is so much going on when it all happened. >> do you know about what the loud bang was? >> i'm not exactly sure but from what i guess, it was the vehicle striking the crowd, striking people that were marching in the parade. >> and did you coknow anyone injured? we know more than 20 people injured. do you coknow anyone? >> no, i don't know any of the victims. i'm very lucky that my family and friends are all accounted for. so my heart is with the victims. >> the ones that were on the gr ground, those that you did see, were they young. could you tell? i know there were a lot of young people in this parade. >> it was hard to tell but it did look like there were small children who were lying on the ground.

i just saw small bodies lying almost lifeless on the ground so it was really hard to tell and it was so much happening all at one time. >> that's just awful. i mean, it's just awful and we're still trying to find out more about why this happened. we know police said they're looking into a person of interest. they located the vehicle but so many unanswered questions that we hope wie'll get answers to i the press conference. glad you and your family are safe. glad you and your family shared your story with us. breaking news continues after this short break. it's the black friday sale at kay! get 25 to 50 percent off everything. find gifts they'll love, at savings you'll love. celebrate every kiss, with kay. tv: mount everest, the tallest mountain on the face of the earth. keep dreaming.

a grim update to the unfolding tragedy in waukesha, wisconsin. minutes ago, police there confirm multiple fatalities and more than 20 people injured when a vehicle plowed into a crowd of -- a vehicle plow into a crowd there at the holiday parade. some of the videos that are coming in are absolutely terrifying including one by angela. we want to warn you, it is very disturbing. she videotaped from her balcony as the suv bored down on members of a marching band .

>> we edited out the actual collision and showed you the aftermath there you can see the marching band and families watching and everyone wearing their santa hats and then the car plowed into the crowd this is the mayhem that unfolded after. back with me now cnn law enforcement analyst and corporate security consultant jonathan and cnn senior law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe, the former deputy director of the fbi. we have more video coming in. more disturbing video. we have that video that we showed. we have other video, as well where you see the red suv speeding down all most hitting a child right there. just so close to hitting that child. and continuing to go down and when you watch this, jonathan,

what stands out to you? >> well, listen, it -- the one thing that really stands out to me is that these victims never saw this threat coming. the vehicle was traveling in the direction of the parade route so they didn't know what was happening. it makes a bad situation so much worse but looking at the vehicle and video we've seen, the suv speeding down the side of the parade route almost hitting the child but not injuring, thankful lir, that child indicates again i think we've side before, i honestly don't believe the intent of this driver was to target this specific event. otherwise, he would have been -- he or she would have been causing greater harm earlier on throughout the video when the suv came up to the marching band, you could see that he tried to -- he or she tried to

position the vehicle more towards the left but again, panic probably set in and hit the accelerator and we saw the tragic event in the victims. again, not even know that vehicle was coming towards them. so a lot of unanswered questions here but i think the evidence is pointing more towards this not being a targeted attack on the event itself and should calm officials in the country, this isn't some sort of directed attack towards holiday events. >> right. because we know, too, not long after the first update we got there was no on going threat so clearly, they determined that this was an isolated incident early on and now they are interviewing, they have a person in custody i should say a person of interest is how they called it. what will they be asking this person? >> well, you know, pam, that's a

great question. we need to take one step back. i think it's possible we don't know this for a fact but certainly possible that one of the reasons for law enforcement's scant details about this person of interest and what their motivation or intent might have been might be that they are actually not talking to law enforcement. so it's entirely possible that they've taken someone into custody and that person is exercised their fifth amendment right against self-incrimination and asked to speak to a lawyer before they speak to law enforcement. if that's the case, they're not learning anything from that person now. i thought it was really notable in the press conference when even though they have repeatedly said they don't believe there are any additional threats, the police chief said towards the end of that brief conference that the nexus to terrorism was still unknown at this point, which i don't want to read too much into that but it does

suggest getting robust cooperation from the person they have in custody. that's my read on it. >> i'm just wondering if they weren't able to determine that, how can they say there is no on going threat, andy. >> that is the question, right? you wonder how are they so confident that there are no other threats but there could be other circumstances around this event that are leading them to believe it was a one off. if they have other reasons to believe for instance that this person may have been fleeing another crime or conflict with someone outside the scope of the parade then that's likely a one time event that went out of control. i would put that out as a potential example. so there may be other facts that are leading law enforcement to believe that this is an isolated

event but they may not be able to really kind of nail that down until this person started to talk to them in a robust way and that may not be happening yet. >> and jonathan, should we read into anything that their still labeling this person a person of interest rather than a suspect? what do you make of that? >> i think it's just some odd terminology there that is being utilized. i mean, they labeled the individual as a person of interest prior to actually taking them into custody but remember, you know, they obviously have a level of reasonable suspicion that this individual was involved in the criminal act so that's allowing them to detain this person and hopefully question but, you know, andy is spot on, this individual, you know, could have asked for a lawyer not cooperating with law enforcement at this time. that further delays the investigative process because

again, investigators don't have the ability to directly ask all those really appointed questions around associated threats, others that may be involved in the criminal act. so again, investigators are really at the infancy of this process. the good thing is they do have that person in custody but again, we'll have to wait to see how the investigative process plays out. >> right. and in the meantime, again, you know, our hearts and our thoughts, prayers go out to these families, right? multiple fatalities. what we're learning from the police chief not long ago, we know that ems transported several children, as well as adults, 11 adults, 12 kids, some were self-transported or transported by family and multiple fatalities. we're waiting to learn more

>> i was watching it for my kids. and i heard screams. and i saw the car come and plow into the band that was just passed me at that point. it hit two people right away. rolled over both of them. and continued down the road to by peoples park. and kept going. it didn't stop. and he didn't stop at all. or she. whoever it was. kept going. >> did you hear gunshots? >> i did not. everyone says that. i didn't hear anything. i heard screaming and people yelling out their children's names. >> this marching band that you saw, that this car had run into, you said this was a high school marching band? >> i don't know. i missed the beginning. i just stepped out. hit the phone and hit record. it all happened. >> so this is obviously really horrible to see. what was going through your mind when you heard the screams and saw the car? what did you think was happening.

>> the parents and kids. i couldn't imagine mine being down there. or anybody else that i know. it was not something i wanted to see. and the people who watch the video i took are shaking and just can't believe it. freaked out. >> the people you saw that got hit, were they young or old? >> they looked young to me. i don't know. i was five stories up. i have no idea ages. it was a band of some sort. that's all i know. >> and just explain where we are. you were watching this from the corner of maine and bar stow. and do you know if this was sort of the early part of the parade? >> i don't know. i came home in the middle of the parade. i stepped outside. i was annoyed i couldn't get home fast and it was a christmas parade. and here comes a guy plowing everybody down. i don't know what portion of the parade it was in. >> did you think right after this happened that there could be a further threat, were you

pr frightened? >> i was shook up. i didn't know what was happening. i heard people saying gunshots. i didn't hear gunshots. i went inside and waited until it was clear and went and talked to the police. >> you stayed inside just in case there was a threat of someone firing shots. >> yeah. i didn't know what to expect. i stayed inside until everything was cleared up. >> i know you told me you don't know anyone that you know who was perhaps at the parade. does that make you nervous? not knowing if certain people are okay. >> i'm assuming my friends are okay. i was looking on facebook. nobody that i know personally is injured. i don't know who was here and who wasn't. >> how fast did you hear and see response from police? >> they were down the street before he hit the people. they were behind him. he hit them -- this was the middle of the parade maybe. there were running after him.

it was instant the crowd ran into the people injured as well. >> you saw a lot of people jump into action right away? even though they were frightened and screams. people were really helping immediately. >> yes, yes. for sure. everybody was. people grabbed people and brought them into the building. everybody helped. >> what did you see as far as people brought into your building? >> i saw them leaving. my neighbor took people in to get them off the street. and we were all walking out together. and shared our videos with the police. that was the end of that. >> what does this feel like to you now trying to process what you saw? >> it's bizarre. i have never seen anything like it. it was right time and place for the video. and not something i ever want to see again. >> i think that you mentioned that the screams you heard the parents calling out kids names. that sticks with you. >> that happened after. when the car went it hit everybody on the left side. and the band members kind of ran

to the right. down the block. and around the block. then the parents coming from up the block screaming for their kids. who either didn't come through the parade yet or were in it. i don't know. >> okay. i know that you have been through a lot today. >> not me. not as much as those people. >> it's also very cold. i let you go here. this is obviously a very shocking and event for everyone. >> we're expecting an update from authorities any moment. we'll bring that to you live as soon as it happens. because you're forever connected by love... two touching center diamonds, representing the connection you share. forever connected. the perfect gift to give this holiday.
