Officer says Waukesha crash that killed 6 people and injured 62 others was an 'intentional act to hurt as many people as possible'

• Darrell Brooks is accused of plowing his vehicle into a Wisconsin Christmas parade and killing six.

• He attended a court hearing Tuesday and faces five counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

• At least 62 others were injured.

In a criminal complaint filed on Tuesday, an officer called the Waukesha, Wisconsin, crash that killed six people and injured 62 others "an intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible."

Darrell E. Brooks, 39, who is accused of driving through a Christmas parade in a red SUV on Sunday, faces five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, the complaint said.

He appeared in court Tuesday for the first time for this case.

In a Monday press briefing, Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson said Brooks "was involved in a domestic disturbance" just before the crash about 4:40 p.m. local time.

Those who died were identified Monday as Tamara Durand, 52; Jane Kulich, 52; LeAnna Owen, 71; Virginia Sorenson, 79; and Wilhelm Hospel, 81. Three of the victims were a part of a group known as the "Milwaukee Dancing Grannies."

A boy died in the hospital Tuesday in connection with the crash after the complaint was filed, the Waukesha County assistant district attorney said. Prosecutors said they planned on adding a sixth charge after this development.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old boy, was the child who died Tuesday. The newspaper cited his verified GoFundMe page and said his family's church confirmed his death. Jackson's 12-year-old brother, Tucker, was among the 18 children hospitalized after the crash.
