Pregnant woman and 2-year-old son killed by driver in Tennessee during an 'intentional act of violence toward randomly chosen pedestrians,' police say.
A Tennessee driver killed a pregnant woman and her 2-year-old son and injured two other people when he intentionally mowed them down Monday, according to police.
Officers arrived to find the mother, who was pregnant, and her son dead at the scene and Phillips' car lodged in a store in Jefferson City, about 30 miles east of Knoxville. An employee of the ornamental fish store was injured. Phillips, of Jefferson City, was arrested and charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted first degree murder.Police said he did not know the victims but carried out an"intentional act of violence toward randomly chosen pedestrians."
"He penetrated the building after taking out a guy-wire on a telephone pole, sending a stop sign 300 feet through the air across the top of the building into one of the employees' cars here," Carberry told WBIR. He"went through a block wall and went through a fish system that had 20 tons of water in it, and came to rest with his bumper about 10 feet past the entry point."
