Darrell Brooks, who allegedly drove an SUV into the Waukesha holiday parade, has a history of violence and was out on bond after an incident earlier in November, according to court records.
Five people were killed and 48 were injured, including at least 18 children. Brooks could face five counts of intentional homicide.
Minutes before the horrific scene unfolded at the holiday parade, police say, Brooks left the scene of a domestic dispute. They say he wasn't being chased when he drove into the parade.
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.
