Two 6-year-old children are dead and at least 10 other people were injured after a stabbing suspect stole a police SUV and crashed it into multiple vehicles, including a van carrying seven children, authorities said.The Montgomery County coroner identified the two children killed as Eleanor McBride and Penelope Jasko.Authorities said the incident began around 7:10 p.m. Monday with a stabbing inside a truck off Xenia Avenue, in the city's Twin Towers neighborhood.Dayton police said a man, identified as Raymond Walters Jr., 32, stabbed his father Lloyd Walters and then fled the scene."One of my friends just said, 'Some man just got beat up,' and I ran down the steps. He was coming across the street staggering. I said, 'Come over here and sit down' because no one would help him, they just kept on riding along," witness Yolanda Davis said.Davis said Lloyd Walters had injuries on his face and chest."Blood was just pouring like water," Davis said. I said, 'Who did this to you?' He said, 'My son tried to kill me.'" Authorities say Raymond Walters – who has a lengthy criminal history and was on parole for a robbery – stole his father's pickup truck and sped away from the scene.He crashed that pickup truck a short time later into a tree in the 4500 block of Airway Road, police said.Authorities with the Riverside Police Department responded to that crash. They found Walters outside of the crashed pickup truck and tried to apprehend him, officials said. But during that time, Walters was able to hijack one of the Riverside police cruisers, despite being shocked with a Taser in the process, officials said. "A Riverside officer tased the suspect in an attempt to stop the theft of the cruiser. The Taser was ineffective, and the suspect fled in the police cruiser," Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said.Dashboard camera video shows the reckless scene unfold as the stolen cruiser attempts to elude police, speeding away – in reverse – with the passenger side door left ajar.As he attempted to flee police, authorities said Walters crashed into another police cruiser, then sped away toward downtown Dayton at a high rate of speed. With lights flashing, police said the stolen police cruiser plowed through a red light near the Dayton library, crashing into two vehicles at an estimated speed of 97 mph, Biehl said.Authorities said the stolen cruiser first struck a red Acura SUV at the intersection of East Third Street and Patterson Road. "I seen the cruiser. He was just flying. I was like, 'Why doesn't he have his lights on?' I thought it was a little strange," witness Mary Creamer said. "He was just flying with no lights on, and the next thing you know, it was a chain reaction. He just slammed into these cars."The cruiser then struck a gray Honda Odyssey, causing it to roll and come to rest on a southwest curb. Seven children and one adult were inside.Two of those children – identified as McBride and Jasko – were killed. A third child remains in critical condition.Authorities said seven of the people inside of that van were of the same family. The eighth was a family friend. They were visiting the library Monday evening to drop off a book.Authorities said the impact caused the police cruiser to split into multiple pieces. Walters survived and was taken into custody.Biehl described Walters Tuesday as a man with a lengthy criminal history, including a history of drug abuse. Biehl said they are looking into whether Walters was high on methamphetamine at the time of the collision.Walters was treated at an area hospital and is now in police custody.Several others were left injured following the ordeal. With the exception of one of the children in critical condition, authorities said all others involved were treated and released from the hospital or remain in stable condition.
