The police don't know how many were in the SUV, at least 17, maybe more. All were illegals from Honduras, probably being transported by a "coyote" to find work in the US. 8 were killed, 7 injured and the others ran away. Some of the victims were children.

With all the unrest in the world, we are bound to see more of this. How sad it is, I can't image having to leave my home to find a new life. Many of the people who are on the move are just trying to find a safe place to live and to earn enough to feed their families. They are not drug addicts and rapists as said by D. Trump.
