At least seven people are killed after car rams into people outside Texas migrant shelter 

At least seven people have been killed and multiple were left injured after a car struck a group of people outside a migrant shelter in Brownsville, Texas. 

The Land Rover SUV is believed to have ‘intentionally’ plowed into pedestrians outside the Ozanam Center at 8.20am on Saturday. 

Police have arrested the driver following the horrific scenes this morning. 

He has been charged with reckless driving, but authorities say more charges may follow after the pending investigation is complete. 

Footage from the aftermath showed injured people lying on the ground in bloodied clothing while emergency services rushed to the scene.

The suspect is currently in hospital being treated for injuries, but he is under police watch. Investigators are also probing whether he was under the influence at the time of the fatal crash. 

The Ozanam center is a homeless shelter that serves individuals and families in the area – and because it sits right on the US-Mexico border, many of its clients are migrants. 

Lt. Martin Sandoval announced that the driver was charged with reckless driving – and confirmed that it was looking like an intentional act.

Footage from the scene showed police arresting a man – who was not wearing a shirt – outside the homeless migrant shelter.
