Multiple people, including children, were seriously injured after a vehicle crashed through a building where a child's birthday party was being held, authorities said.

A 66-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene, police said.

Two children are dead and 15 people were injured after a woman drove her car into a child’s birthday party, Sheriff Troy Goodnough said in a press conference Saturday evening.

The two children who were pronounced dead at the scene were siblings, an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, according to police.

      This is sociopathic, probably anger-fueled thinking. You don’t spend enough time around people, you don’t realize how imperfect and different literally everyone is, and you don’t really know what their problems are; so you tend to dehumanize people who make mistakes. What happened was horrible, some people may never forgive them, but they are still humans. Not to mention that you can’t trust humans in the first place to even pick the right people to punish, let alone to punish humanely. Not that punishment was ever a good response.

      Or maybe you do realize these things and you’ll come to your senses later.

        People are imperfect. Thats why there should be more stringent requirements for a bunch of very imperfect people to be given licenses to pilot 3 ton death machines.

        I dont know if this person was drunk or texting… But i’m sure there were red flags prior to this incident.
