Car strikes people in Texas border town, killing 8 people 

A car has struck a group of people at a bus stop in Brownsville, Texas, killing eight people and injuring five others. The incident occurred near a shelter for the homeless and migrants, and it is not clear whether it was intentional. The driver has been arrested and charged, but he was uncooperative with the authorities and had to undergo drug and alcohol tests. 

Brownsville has seen a sharp increase in illegal migrant arrivals, and the Ozanam Center, an overnight shelter for up to 250 people, has been handling up to 380 people a day for the past two months. 

The majority of the victims were Venezuelan men who had been waiting at the bus stop to catch a local bus downtown to link up with other buses heading to different parts of the US, for which they already had tickets. Police are still investigating the motive behind the incident. Earlier US media reports quoted police as saying it appeared to be a deliberate attack.
