CBSN
The man accused of driving through a Wisconsin holiday parade route, killing five people and injuring dozens more, is expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Darrell Brooks, 39, faces five counts of intentional homicide.
Authorities have identified those killed as Virginia Sorenson, 79; LeAnna Owen, 71; Jane Kulich, 52; Wilhelm Hospel, 81; and Tamara Durand, 52. Forty-eight people were injured, including 18 children. An 11-year-old girl, who was dancing in the parade, remains in critical condition.
"It was like a war zone," the girl's uncle, Ryan Kohnke, told CBS News.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
