brooks. and officials say he will be charged with counts of homicide there. we'll learn more about that a bit later. want to go to tom llamas, anchor of "top story." he's in waukesha right now for us. what have we learned about the motive? we heard that there had been some kind of a domestic disturbance that mr. brooks was a part of. do we know how he got from there onto this parade route? >> we still don't know that, lester. that's the big unknown. and also the motivation to sort of floor it once he got on the parade route. this is main street where the parade was taking place. where we are right now, this was one of the impact points. the extreme dance team, that youth dance troop was out here. somebody is racing by now. that youth dance troop was right here when the car came rushing by. it was headed in this direction. an owner of a bakery over here said it was so chaotic. children all over the street. parents were screaming and then when the officer opened fire, it led to a theory out here that there was an active shooter. people ran to the storefronts and sheltered in place while they tried to figure out what wa
