This is getting very low key coverage in the news. Last night, a driver in Sunnyvale mowed down eight pedestrians. The FBI has been called in. Although the driver has been arrested and identified, that information is being withheld from the public. I suspect that if the driver were a white male, this would already be spun as an White Supremacist Attack.
The FBI is assisting California officials in the investigation of a motorist who appeared to deliberately plow into a group of people, injuring eight, authorities said Wednesday.
Prentice Danner, a spokesman for the FBI's field office in San Francisco, said the Sunnyvale Police Department is the lead agency in the investigation but that the bureau will become more involved "if it is determined a federal crime was committed."
Sunnyvale Police Cpt. Jim Choi said the driver of the car was arrested and has been identified but that his name is not being made public to avoid compromising the investigation. He said the driver was not injured.
He said the department notified the FBI after the Tuesday evening crash because "we are making sure we are looking at all the possible motives and angles."
