In Texas, a driver was arrested for hitting pedestrians. As a result of the incident in the town of Brownsville, seven people were killed and up to six were injured, FoxNews reports.
According to the police, the victims suffered serious and minor injuries. The driver is in hospital under 24-hour surveillance. Alcohol and drug tests are carried out.
So far he has only been charged with dangerous driving, but the investigation is ongoing. Police say the inmate is likely to face new charges as the assault appears to have been deliberate.
The accident happened at 8:30 a.m. local time near the Ozanam center, a shelter for migrants and homeless people. It is unclear if the hiding place had anything to do with the attack. Among the dead were migrants.
The border town of Brownsville is one of the places expected to see an influx of migrants when COVID-era restrictions expire on Thursday.
Earlier, nine people were killed and eight injured in a shooting at a shopping center in the Dallas suburb of Allen, Texas.
