2 Children Killed When Stabbing Suspect Crashes Stolen Police Cruiser Into Van
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Police in Dayton, Ohio, say a suspect in a stabbing stole a police SUV and crashed it into a van carrying children, killing two of them.
At least 10 people, including the suspect, were sent to hospitals.
WHIO-TV reports that Lt. Col. Eric Henderson says the suspect fled when officers responded Monday evening to a report of a stabbing on Xenia Avenue. He says the suspect abandoned that vehicle, fled on foot and at some point stole a Riverside police SUV.
Henderson says police then got a call about a crash near the Dayton Metro Library, where officers arrested the suspect.
The SUV had crashed into at least two occupied vehicles.
