WASHINGTON—A driver is in custody after a vehicle drove through a soccer game in Wichita, Kansas, leaving two people dead, including a child, and multiple people injured, police said on Saturday.
“This is a tragedy,” Wichita police Captain Aaron Moses said at a news conference.
The deaths included one child and one adult, Moses said, without naming them or specifying their ages. Multiple people with injuries were taken to hospitals, he said.
Emergency dispatchers started getting calls about the incident at the Stryker Sports Complex at 3:25 p.m. local time, Moses said.
The vehicle involved had two juveniles as passengers, Moses said. He did not identify the driver or say whether charges would be filed.
