介绍:
Tragic news comes from the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, USA today.
Two people have died and 23 others have been injured after a suspected drunk driver smashed through police barriers and drove down a crowded street.
South by Southwest is an annual music, film, and interactive conference and festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of people who come out to watch shows on the streets at all hours.
The driver hit multiple pedestrians on a block filled with concert-goers. He eventually crashed and tried to run away, but he was tazered and taken into police custody.
Art Acevedo is the Austin Texas Police Chief :
"I can just tell you that it's clear to me from what I've seen that those are the actions of an individual that showed no regard for the human beings that he plowed through in his attempt to get away."
The driver, whose name also has not been released, faces two counts of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle. Acevedo said it was an "intentional act," and that the suspect has been booked. Formal charges will be filed this afternoon.
