These eyewitness accounts are tough to read and listen to. According to the Stillwater PD, three people are dead and eight are in critical condition.

There was also this from the AP.

Dave Kapple of Houston told the Stillwater News Press that he and his son were about 10 feet away when they saw the vehicle barreling into the crowd.

“We heard somebody scream, ‘Look out!.’ (The driver) plowed through a police motorcycle, and then a crowd of people,” Kapple said. “People were flying everywhere.”

Konda Walker, from Anchorage, Alaska, was attending the festivities ahead of the homecoming game.

“At first we thought it was part of the show,” Walker told the News Press. “People were flying 30 feet into the air like rag dolls.”
