A man intentionally plowed an SUV into a crowd at a holiday parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Sunday night and was being charged with intentional homicide, police said. Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said Monday the five people killed at the parade ranged in age from 52 to 81.
Thompson said before the incident the suspect was involved in a domestic disturbance and left that scene before officers arrived.
More than 40 others, including at least 18 children, were hurt in the rampage, some of which was captured on video by bystanders.
"I just saw little girls flying through the air," witness Sarah Saldivar said. "You just saw multiple bodies thrown through the road, and you saw, like, the lawn chairs and the blankets."
The suspect was on bail facing charges at the time of the incident. According to the Milwaukee County district attorney''s office, the suspect posted a $1,000 cash bail on November 11 after authorities say a woman told police he ran her over at a gas station the week before.
In a statement, the district attorney''s office said the bail amount, which was recommended by prosecutors, was "inappropriately low in light of the nature of the recent charges," which included battery and recklessly endangering safety.
"The bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County District Attorney''s Office toward matters involving violent crime, nor was it consistent with the risk assessment of the defendant prior to setting of bail," the statement said.
The district attorney''s office said it''s conducting an internal review of the decision for the bail recommendation.
Police released the names of the five people who were killed at the parade. Dozens more were injured in the rampage, including children.
Waukesha police identified the deceased victims as:

A children''s hospital in Milwaukee treated 18 patients from the crash ranging in age from 3 to 16, doctors said Monday. Six children were listed in critical condition as of late Monday morning, according to Dr. Michael Meyer, medical director of the pediatric intensive care unit at Children''s Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Three other patients were in serious condition, and nine more were listed in fair condition, Meyer said. Dr. Amy Drendel, the hospital''s medical director of emergency medicine, said three sets of siblings were among the patients.
