At least five people are dead and more than 40 are injured, officials say, after a vehicle plowed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, over the weekend. 

As of early Monday, none of the victims have been publicly identified – but the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies, which describes itself on its Facebook page as "group of grannies that meet once a week to practice routines for summer and winter parades," says its members are among the fatalities. 

"Our group was doing what they loved, performing in front of crowds in a parade putting smiles on faces of all ages, filling them with joy and happiness," it said in a statement. "While performing the grannies enjoyed hearing the crowds cheers and applause which certainly brought smiles to their faces and warmed their hearts." 

"Those who died were extremely passionate Grannies," the group continued, adding that "our hearts are heavy at this most difficult time, as more information and updates become available it will be posted."
