We are on scene now. One man says “most of his family are in the hospital” as he and his wife walked away. There are emergency crews everywhere
@fox6now
A woman who lives on Main Street says she saw the SUV barrel through a dance team of girls between 9 and 15 years old.
She says the immediate reaction was silence, followed by screaming, running, checking on those injured.
@fox6now
This was recorded from the City of Waukesha’s Facebook account, which was streaming the parade.
You can see a red SUV speed right past these band members, hear screams and then a law enforcement officer running.
@fox6now
So, I’ll reiterate since the guy deleted his tweet:
FOX6 is cutting in with ongoing tornado warnings. We know the Brewers game is on. The FCC requires we do this with active alerts as part of our broadcast license.
It’s not even a debate, really.
KENOSHA SHOOTING: A 4 p.m.
@Kenosha_Sheriff
press release says a “person of interest has been located and will be criminally charged... There is no threat to the community at this time.”
@fox6now
The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office incident command post is on site. There are bag chairs and handfuls of candy stranded all along Main Street.
Another man told us he heard a handful of shots and ran for cover. He was almost hit by the SUV as it pulled through.
@fox6now
Here are the names of the five people killed during yesterday's Christmas parade in Waukesha:
Virginia Sorenson, 79
LeAnna Owen, 71
Tamara Durand, 52
Jane Kulich, 52
Wilhelm Hospel, 81
@fox6now
Mass Casualty Incident @ W Main St & N Barstow St
12+ FD units responding.
12+ PD units responding.
Reports of many people injured after a suspect drove through the parade. Possible shots fired.
I’ll close with this — I will never forget what we saw when we arrived on scene.
The facial expressions, frantic families running and personal belongings left behind.
It’s heavy & heartbreaking, & my heart goes to those impacted by this tragedy.

NOW: We have made it to West Bend for the city’s 69th Christmas Parade. A noticeable difference — snow plows used as road blocks to protect the parade route. A few officers also have rifles too.

Patrick Frazee received the maximum sentence. Life without possibility of parole plus 156 years, plus 5 years with parole for solicitation. He was put in cuffs and escorted out

Tonight, her mother Ayanna is hosting an event to awaken the community & let her daughter know she hasn’t forgotten about her.

The Berreths shed tears and held each other close. Darrell shared tearful hugs with Jennifer Viehman, Beth Reed and Dan May. Frazee seemed even more stoic

Chief Daniel Thompson: Some of the fatalities are children, and they aren't releasing information on deaths as they work to notify families.
He says an officer with 6.5 years experience shot at the vehicle.

Kathy and I are praying for Waukesha tonight and all the kids, families, and community members affected by this senseless act. I'm grateful for the first responders and folks who acted quickly to help, and we are in contact with local partners as we await more information.

Cheryl acknowledged Kenney’s role in getting this conviction, but said, “she shouldn’t have received a plea deal. She was an active participant in the murder. The only thing she didn’t do is swing the bat.”

Judge finds proof evident for tampering with evidence too. He’ll be held without bond. Judge asked defense to set trial or arraignment. Defense asks for arraignment, saying the DA’s Office just emailed 3,300 pages of discovery to him.

They also requested a no-contact order from the Frazee family, as they “showed their support to a killer.” Cheryl said they’ll aim to establish an aviation scholarship in Kelsey’s name, and they asked the judge to require Frazee pay into it

He says Frazee was seen on Walmart & Williams Furniture Store surveillance, and on the surveillance video of an adjacent townhome to Berreth’s. That video showed him at her door

Then later that evening, Adams says the phones were together and pinged west of Cripple Creek. Adams says Frazee called Krystal Lee and his mother Sheila on Nov. 22.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth

Just before 5 p.m., the state amended their complaint. They added three counts to Frazee: one tampering with evidence and two for a crime of violence. That’s 8 total counts vs. Frazee.
@KOAA

Kenney told Slater she didn’t drug the coffee because “she didn’t want to hurt her.” Kenney communicated with Frazee after this. She said he was angry & sent an apology text later that day.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
Scott Morin, Berreth’s uncle, read impact statements from several coworkers and Cheryl Berreth, Kelsey’s mom. Cheryl says they will move to adopt Kelsey’s daughter. Asked the judge if he could speed that up but he couldn’t
State gives him another still of that neighbor’s surveillance. He says it shows Berreth, Kaylee, Frazee & her flowers out front of Kelsey’s door around 1 p.m.
@KOAA

I met the owner of Williams Furniture Store tonight. Jerry Good says he was honored his surveillance video helped put Berreth’s killer away. He actually doubled his number of cameras to help Woodland Park Police on future crime fighting.

Quick, before recess. May says Sheila Frazee recovered a steal rod that will tie to more details about solicitation, witnessed the destruction of evidence by way of fire & burning. He’s pleading his case again for her testimony

Adams says he tracked Kenney’s phone movements once she was identified in the case. Early Nov. 25, it pinged off a tower near Grand Junction about a minute after Kelsey’s did. Data indicated those phones were traveling together.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
NEW TODAY: Patrick Frazee is due in court this morning for his arraignment, where he’s expected to enter a plea. I’m on my way to Cripple Creek and will tweet updates from inside the courtroom here.

@KOAA
Adams says Frazee was seen at the same gas station around 4:30 p.m. that day filling up a small gas can. That gas station is a little more than a mile from his residence.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
#KrystalKenney
At this point, police had Frazee’s phone & records for his phone. Agents found Frazee called his mother around 4:24 p.m. They determined his phone pinged off a tower near Berreth’s townhome, heading west from there.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
Adams says he was able to confirm Kenney’s physical presence in Colorado on Nov. 24. He says, based on the interview, that she came in the morning. Surveillance from the Sonic in Woodland Park & the Coneco in Florissant showed her vehicle.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
Adams says Officer Huber confirmed Frazee’s whereabouts on Nov. 22. State asked if he’s aware of another surveillance video showing Frazee at Kelsey Berreth’s residence at 3:36 p.m. Adams says yes.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
State gives Adams a DVD. He says it’s a recording of a phone call with Patrick Frazee. It was recorded by WPPD officers that made first contact with him. They’re going to play it for us.
@KOAA

#PatrickFrazee
Two more exhibits from the state. First is a still of him on the surveillance at the bank showing him. Second shows the back of his truck, with a black tote in it. He says they learned that tote played a big role in what happened to Kelsey Berreth.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
This morning in Colorado — Krystal Kenney will be sentenced for her role in the 2018 murder of Kelsey Berreth. She faces a max of 18 months in prison, which could be upgraded to three years if the crime (moving/destroying Berreth’s phone) is found to be aggravated.
Kenney invited Slater & another agent inside her home. They wanted to ask about the case. She wanted to talk to an attorney. Twin Falls PD arrested her to get buckle swabs.

They recovered Frazee’s phone at that time. Frazee said he wanted to speak with an attorney before talking to law enforcement, Slater says. Slater says phone records played a big role in the investigation.
@KOAA

#PatrickFrazee
Cheryl & Clint Berreth texted Slater on Dec. 6 that they believed they found blood in her bathroom & believed there were signs of cleaning up. Slater mentioned blood on a television. Cheryl said a mat for the bathroom was missing.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth
#PatrickFrazee
Slater: Per Kenney, Frazee asked her if she cleaned up well. Kenney said she did the best she could, and Frazee said you better hope so. Then, Frazee said, “You don’t know how hard it was to go have Thanksgiving dinner after killing her.”
@KOAA
#PatrickFrazee
About the gun — Slater says they were able to track down Mark Pearson and get the gun. Pearson said he got it from Kenney. An ATF analysis revealed it is Kelsey Berreth’s.
@KOAA
#KelseyBerreth

#KrystalKenney
State says Frazee also called an Idaho number at 4:37 p.m. Slater says it hit off the same tower, southwest of Berreth’s townhome. Shortly after, he received a call from that same number. Slater says it pinged off a tower in Divide.
