Video showed the SUV drive down the street as parade participants ran to get out of its way.
One video showed parade-goers yelling obscenities at the SUV’s driver and passengers while they were handcuffed on the ground.
Lujan Grisham said Friday that the state will send additional police officers and a behavioral heath crisis team to Gallup for the rest of the ceremonial event. Tonya Jim said she went to the parade with her parents, grandchildren and children. Her 5-year-old granddaughter, KaRiah, was picked from the crowd to join a group of dancers. Shortly after, the vehicle barreled down the parade route, turned and hit a man across from them who was sitting on a folding chair, she said. KaRiah was helped off the road by someone and was not hurt.
“I blessed my kids and thanked the creator they are still with me and pray for the families who are hurt,” said Jim, who is Navajo and lives in Fort Defiance.
