The Waukesha Christmas Parade Tragedy

On November 21st, a man drove a red SUV into people marching in our Christmas parade. Six people died because of this action. Here are a collection of pictures of my community’s response to this tragedy.

At first, main street where this took place had press everywhere.

While looking at the press along the street, I noticed and orange marks on the street. I suspected they were evidence markings.

As time went by, items began showing up at Veteran’s Park where the city invited people to leave memorial items.

Local businesses began posting messages of support.

The Christmas parade memorial was decommissioned and put into storage earlier this week (Wednesday morning). Now a few more items have appeared.
