Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said "some" people had been killed but would not give an exact number. A person was in custody, as was the SUV, he said, but he did not give any indication of a motive, according to a Reuters report.
One video shows a woman screaming, "Oh my God!" repeatedly after a group of girls wearing Santa hats is mowed down.
Another video shows the SUV ploughing into members of a school marching band, as their music gives way to terrified screams.
