A Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin turned to tragedy last night as a crazed murderer ploughed through a crowd, killing 5 and injuring dozens and dozens more.
Left wing media created a bizarre conspiracy theory in the wake of the attack, in which it was falsely claimed that the suspect (who has a conviction for pimping children) was merely fleeing the scene of a crime and happened to drive through dozens of people.
The Catholic Community of Waukesha wrote on their Facebook page:
Thank you all for your prayers and offers of help. We have confirmed that several parishioners have been injured and are hospitalized.
Despite this horrific event, we will call on the Holy Spirit and come together as a community with Fr. Matthew and Fr. Chuck leading the Rosary tonight (8:30pm) on Facebook. Please join us to pray for those who were injured.
A prayer service is being planned for tomorrow night. We will continue to update you as we know more.

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee released a statement which said:
Our prayers are with the people who have been injured and killed during the tragic incident in Waukesha. Among the injured are one of our Catholic priests, as well as multiple parishioners and Waukesha Catholic school children.
Despite what many left wing outlets claimed, the attack was not accidental but completely intentional. He also stated that it was a ‘rumour’ that police were in pursuit of him.
A prayer vigil will take place for the victims later this evening on the parish’s Youtube page.
