“The parade had just begun and we saw people lining up and ready to move and all of a sudden this white pickup truck dashed right through the crowd, barely missing congresswoman Wasserman Schultz’s car by inches and smashed through a gate,” he said. Trantalis said the vehicle came within inches of Democratic US representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was in a convertible at the parade. Wilton Manors police tweeted that the public was not in danger. It is unclear whether he has been charged. The suspect was “part of the Chorus family” and the injured were members, he told local media.įort Lauderdale police detective Ali Adamson said authorities were investigating “all possibilities”, with the help of the FBI but did not say whether they believed the incident was intentional. Justin Knight, the president of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, whose logo the suspect wore on his t-shirt, said that to his knowledge it was a “tragic accident” and not an attack on the LGBTQ community. Trantalis said he believed it to be a deliberate attack.
