Police in North Carolina believe that a man intentionally drove into a crowd of migrants Sunday, sending all six victims to the hospital.

The Lincolnton Police Department said the suspect targeted the migrants by plowing into them outside a Walmart just after 1:15 p.m.

All the migrant workers were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police described the suspect as an older White male. He was driving a black, midsize SUV.

Authorities are still working on a motive.

Lincolnton is about 40 miles outside Charlotte.
