A 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man were killed during a soccer game at Stryker Soccer Complex in Wichita, Kansas, according to police.
At least two people were killed, and 11 were injured after a truck drove onto a soccer field Saturday in Wichita, Kansas, authorities said.
A 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man were killed during a soccer game at Stryker Soccer Complex, said Aaron Moses, a captain and executive officer with the Wichita Police Department.
Eleven people were transported to local hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening, ranging in age from 5 years old to 68 years old, Moses said at a news conference.
The driver, a 34-year-old woman, was taken into custody and has been cooperative with the investigation, Moses said. Two juveniles were also inside the vehicle at the time, Moses said. It's unclear if the incident was intentional, police said.
An investigation into the incident was ongoing, police said.
