A 6-year-old boy and 35-year-old man were killed, and 10 others were injured, when a woman drove a truck through a youth soccer game at a city sports complex in Wichita, Kansas, Saturday afternoon, police said.
The 34-year-old driver, from Garden City, Kansas, was in custody, though it wasn\u2019t immediately clear if the incident at the Stryker Sports Complex was intentional, police said.
\u201cShe has been cooperative up to this point in the investigation,\u201d Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses said at an evening news conference.
Both of the dead were from the city of McPherson, Moses said, but were not related to one another.
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.
\u201cThose injuries span from minor injuries, like bruises, to extremely severe injuries,\u201d the captain said. \u201cBut at this point, we believe those to be non-life-threatening.\u201d
An additional patient, a 61-year-old woman, was hospitalized with \u201cnon-traumatic medical issues,\u201d he said.
People began calling 911 shortly before 3:30 p.m., Moses said, \u201creporting that a vehicle had driven through a soccer game at Stryker Soccer Complex.\u201d
First responders, including Kansas Highway Patrol officers, Sedgwick County sheriff\u2019s deputies and police from nearby Bel Aire, found the boy and the man dead at the scene, he said.
They also saw bystanders tending to the injured.
\u201cThey saw community members and citizens rendering medical aid to those who were injured,\u201d he said.
The driver was still in the truck, as were two children, Moses said. One of the women\u2019s 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<\/a> that the incident left her filled with sorrow.
\u201cI\u2019m heartbroken by reports of a tragic incident at Stryker Sports Complex,\u201d she said. \u201cMy thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially the children and families involved.\u201d
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said in a statement that she\u2019s monitoring the situation and has offered state resources to Wu.
\u201cMy condolences go out to the families of the victims, the survivors, and all those impacted by this event,\u201d she said, adding that she was \u201cvery grateful\u201d to first responders.
The Stryker Sports Complex is a city facility with 11 turf fields used for \u201call sports,\u201d it states on its website. The city of Wichita said all events at the facility have been canceled for now.
The Kansas State High School Activities Association<\/a> said its scheduled flag football state championship has been suspended, along with any other of its matches through the weekend.
An investigation into the incident was ongoing, police said.
In a statement posted to Facebook<\/a>, the Wichita Police Department asked anyone with video of the incident to upload it so investigators could take a look.
