I know there are a few posters from SE Wisconsin and I have Cousins in Waukesha, hope everyone is OK and nobody was there. Sad

Each passing day it seems the world is getting more and more crazy.

I heard about it on our daily morning radio net.

Haven't seen much of the news, although there was speculation that the driver was fleeing another incident.

If anyone needs the book thrown at them, this person would appear to qualify.

I just heard about that horrible attack this morning.

I concur, I sincerely hope none of our "Trains" family and of the Kambach organization were involved. 

There's no further details of what happened just yet, it's going to take at least 24 hours before everything's sorted out. More questions than answers at the moment.

This is approx 10-15 min away from the TRAINS Magazine Offices in Waukesha.   Sad.     I am sure it is shock for them.    The really bad thing is the local schools and school children had groups in the parade.

I got a response from Roger Carp of "Classic Toy Trains" and to his knowledge no-one in the Kalmbach organization was harmed.  Thank God.

This is the latest I've found on the assault.

As a mother of 3 kids and a wife whose husband just went back to work as a DSP at a local NGO being the cook there plus a driver for the residents.  It could have been my family getting run down had this been in my town.  Therefore I am only going to say this throw this bastard in jail and bury him under it.  He needs to charged with 5 counts of intentional murder and 40 counts of attempted murder.

It's just so awful.

I hope no one at Kalmbach was affected. Such a devastating event for their community.

Still in training.
