Two people, including a 6-year-old boy, were killed and 10 people were left with injuries, when a woman drove a truck through a youth soccer game at a city sports complex in Wichita, Kansas.
According to Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses, the other victim, a 35-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Driver's cooperating with police after horror incident
The 34-year-old driver, from Garden City, Kansas, was in custody, with the police sharing it was not immediately clear if the incident at the Stryker Sports Complex was intentional.
"She has been cooperative up to this point in the investigation," Moses said at an evening news conference.
It was also revealed that both dead were from the city of McPherson, but were not related to one another.
Injured victims after the incident
The injured include five children, ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old, as well as five men and women between 28 and 68 years old, he said.
"Those injuries span from minor injuries, like bruises, to extremely severe injuries," the captain said. "But at this point, we believe those to be non-life-threatening."
An additional patient, a 61-year-old woman, was hospitalised with "non-traumatic medical issues", he said.
People began calling 911 shortly before 3:30 p.m., Moses said, "reporting that a vehicle had driven through a soccer game at Stryker Soccer Complex".
First responders, including Kansas Highway Patrol officers, Sedgwick County sheriff's deputies and police from nearby Bel Aire, found the boy and the man dead at the scene.
The driver was still in the truck, as were two children, Moses said.
One of the women's children had a game at the complex, though at a different field to where the crash occurred, he said.
Wichita Mayor Lily Wu said on her personal Facebook page that the incident left her filled with sorrow.
"I'm heartbroken by reports of a tragic incident at Stryker Sports Complex," she said. "My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially the children and families involved."
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said in a statement that she is monitoring the situation and has offered state resources to Wu.
"My condolences go out to the families of the victims, the survivors, and all those impacted by this event," she said, adding that she was "very grateful" to first responders.
