法庭记录显示，嫌疑人此前因用越野车碾过一名女子而被捕
法庭文件显示，被控周日驾车闯入圣诞游行、造成5人死亡的嫌疑人达雷尔·布鲁克斯(Darrell Brooks)本月早些时候因使用2010款栗色福特Escape轿车碾过其孩子的母亲而被捕。
这似乎是用来穿越游行队伍的同一辆车。
文件称，11月初，一名女子告诉警方，布鲁克斯在此前的一场家庭纠纷中停在她身边，并指示她进入他的车。根据刑事诉状，当她拒绝时，布鲁克斯用拳头打了她的脸。
诉状称，当她走过一个加油站的停车场时，布鲁克斯“故意”用他的车撞倒了她。
39岁的布鲁克斯将于周二首次出庭，与周日的事件有关。警方称，他被控五项一级故意杀人罪。
81岁，79岁的5名死者中
警方在新闻发布会上说，五名死者中包括一名81岁的男子威廉·霍斯佩尔和一名79岁的妇女弗吉尼亚·索伦森。其他受害者包括71岁的莱安娜·欧文、52岁的塔玛拉·杜兰德和52岁的简·库里奇。
警方称，39岁的嫌疑人达雷尔·布鲁克斯被控五项一级故意杀人罪。警方表示，可能会有更多指控。他将于周二首次出庭。
警方称，在致命车祸发生前几分钟，嫌疑人卷入了一场家庭骚乱。
警方称，除了5人死亡外，还有48人受伤，原因是嫌疑人“故意驾驶他的栗色越野车穿过路障撞向人群”。
警方称，一名警察开枪试图阻止司机，但因为有太多游行者在场，所以停止了射击。警方称，没有人在枪击中受伤，这名警官正在行政休假。
警方表示，嫌疑人是单独行动的，这不是一起恐怖事件。
官员们说，这种“诺曼·洛克威尔式圣诞游行”已经举行了几十年。
拜登说，他祈祷感恩节的“精神”将“鼓舞”家庭
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)周一在对这起致命事故的首次评论中表示，“虽然我们还没有掌握所有的事实和细节，但我们今天早上知道，沃克沙的五个家庭正面临着失去亲人的新悲痛。”
拜登说:“至少有40名美国人受伤，其中一些人情况危急，整个社区都在挣扎，努力应对这一可怕的暴力行为。
“昨晚，沃克夏的人们聚集在一起，庆祝一个充满希望、团结和感恩节的季节的开始，”他继续说道。“今天早上，吉尔和我以及拜登的整个家庭，我相信我们所有人都祈祷，同样的精神将拥抱和托起这场悲剧的所有受害者，从受伤中恢复过来，并包裹那些为了支持他们的社区而死去的人的家人。”
拜登补充说，政府正在“非常密切地监控局势”。
