Story summary

A 34-year-old woman drove a black pickup truck onto a soccer field at Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kansas, on Saturday afternoon, killing a six-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man and injuring at least ten others. The incident occurred around 3:25 PM when the vehicle plowed into spectators during a youth soccer game. The woman was heard shouting, "Oh my God, oh my God, what have I done?" after hitting people; she remained at the scene and was taken into custody by police.

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene, including the Wichita Fire Department, Sedgwick County EMS, and others. Among those injured were two five-year-olds, a nine-year-old girl, and several adults aged between 28 and 68 years old. All victims who died were pronounced dead at the site.

Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses stated that investigations are ongoing to determine why the incident occurred, though authorities have not confirmed if it was intentional. The city of Wichita has canceled all events at Stryker Sports Complex until further notice.
