Authorities will charge a 39-year-old man with multiple counts of homicide for driving into a crowded Christmas parade in Wisconsin, killing five, as he fled the scene of an earlier domestic disturbance, police said on Monday.

Police in Waukesha, a small city roughly 20 miles west of Milwaukee, say they do not know what caused Darrell E. Brooks, a resident of Milwaukee, to drive into the crowd, injuring 48, including two children in critical condition.

"Minutes after the incident occurred, I responded to the scene," Thompson said."And what I saw out of chaos and tragedy was heroes -- first responders in the community coming together and working together on triaging victims." A police officer opened fire at the suspect but had to stop for the safety of bystanders, Thompson said.
