On Sunday morning, a Range Rover SUV plowed into pedestrians in Brownsville, Texas, killing 8 people.

The incident occurred about 8:30 in the morning in front of the Ozanam Center, a shelter for illegal aliens and the homeless, at the intersection of Minnesota Road and North Bernal Road.

The vehicle reportedly drove up on the curb in front of a bus stop where a group of individuals believed to be migrants were waiting.

“What we see in the video is that this SUV just ran the red light and was about 100 feet away and just went through the people who were sitting in the bus stop,” shelter director Victor Maldonado told the Associated Press.
