Child among 2 killed after vehicle drives onto soccer field at Kansas sports complex

Two people, including a child, were killed and several others injured after a vehicle drove onto a soccer field at Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kansas. The incident led officials to suspend the inaugural girls’ flag football state championship, which was taking place on an adjacent field.

Police said the driver was taken into custody and posed no ongoing threat to the public. Dispatchers began receiving calls at about 3:25 p.m.; two juveniles were in the vehicle, and the victims, an adult and a child, had not been identified. Authorities had not confirmed whether the driver acted intentionally, and the investigation was in its early stages.
