The incident killed two people, with one of the victims identified as 26-year-old Katelyn Self, and injured multiple others, according to the Bessemer City Police. Self was a deputy with the Gaston County Sheriff's Office and was the suspect driver's daughter, according to authorities.

Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger said Self had worked her way up from detention officer to a deputy.

"All I’d ask is for people to keep the family in your prayers and also the sheriff’s office cause we’re suffering a little bit right now," Cloninger said.
