Video footage shows the car driving at high speed for quite some distance before plowing into the screaming crowd. At least one person was killed and at least 19 others are wounded.

Police have taken a suspect into custody, but have not identified him yet.
“We are currently treating this as a criminal homicide investigation,” Charlottesville police Chief Al Thomas told reporters. A 32-year-old woman who has not been named by police yet, was killed by her injuries sustained in the crash. Eyewitnesses have described the act as deliberate.
