A car has been driven into a Christmas parade in the US state of Wisconsin, killing at least five people, and injuring more than 40 others. The incident happened at around 16:40 local time in in the city of Waukesha, west of Milwaukee. "The scene is still fluid, and the investigation is ongoing," the police said.
The suspect appeared to have been fleeing another scene when he drove into the parade, an official told the BBC's US partner CBS News. It did not appear to be terrorism, the official added. The “person of interest” is in custody, police confirmed.
Local resident Angelito Tenorio told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper he had just finished marching in the parade when it was hit. "We saw an SUV... just put the pedal to the metal and just zooming full speed along the parade route. And then we heard a loud bang, and just deafening cries and screams from people who are struck by the vehicle," he said.
Corey Montiho said his daughter's dance team was hit by the SUV. "There were pom-poms and shoes and spilled hot chocolate everywhere. I had to go from one crumpled body to the other to find my daughter," he told the paper.

The number of children in care in England could reach almost 100,000 by 2025, according to new analysis. Research commissioned by county councils said the figure would represent a 36% rise in a decade. Taking a child into care is the most serious and expensive decision a local authority has to make - putting a child in a home costs more than £4,000 per week on average. A government spokesman said it was providing £4.8bn in funding to councils to help maintain "vital front-line services".
