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’t immediately clear if the incident at the Stryker Sports Complex was intentional, police said.

“She has been cooperative up to this point in the investigation,” Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses said at an evening news conference.

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.

“Those injuries span from minor injuries, like bruises, to extremely severe injuries,” the captain said. “But at this point, we believe those to be non-life-threatening.”
