Jordan Woynilko, 35, went to Waukesha on Sunday, about 15 minutes from Milwaukee, where he resides, to watch the traditional Christmas parade with a friend.

They were both in the middle of Main Street, where the event was taking place, and had just left a restaurant, when a red SUV-type SUV sped through the parade, charging into the crowd.

“We were watching the parade and we went into a restaurant to use the toilet, when I came out I saw an SUV going through the parade on the other side of the street and then people started shouting and some ran into the restaurant”He said in a telephone conversation.

Amid the initial confusion, Woynilko thought that people were screaming because there were shots, “But it was the vehicle that was taking people and objects ahead”.

The police revealed in a press conference on Monday that an agent tried to neutralize the driver of the vehicle by opening fire on him, but stopped shooting for fear of hitting someone else, although Woynilko indicated that he did not hear any shots.

Then he turned to his friend and they wondered in confusion what was happening; then they walked to where they had the car parked while Woynilko recorded the scene with his cell phone.

In that journey, “We saw people helping some people who were hit (by the car), people around others who were lying on the ground, or looking for help or doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)”, the witness detailed.

Woynilko recalled that there were many children in the parade and that just before going to the bathroom he had thought that the minors were very close to the road, when he saw them collect the candies that the participants in the parade threw at them.

On the other hand, the witness stressed that the ambulances took a long time to reach the place, because on Sunday the strong winds in the area had caused the power to drop.

“There were people lying on the ground, with others trying to do CPR, maybe it was their relatives, I mean, it was civilians who practiced CPR, because there was no ambulance,” he recalled.

On her way to the car, her friend began to cry when she saw the scene with “people on the ground, many people around those people and blood.”

“I told (my friend) that everything was fine, and once we got in the car we left Waukesha and I dropped her off at her place. After leaving her, I uploaded my video to Twitter and five minutes later my father called meWoynilko pointed out, reassuring his father.

The Police ruled out on Monday that the accident was a terrorist attack.

A suspect, identified by authorities as Darren Brooks, 39, of Milwaukee, was detained by police at a location near where the incident occurred.
