Dayton: Authorities in Dayton, Ohio, say a suspect in a stabbing stole a police SUV and crashed it into a van filled with children, killing two 6-year-old girls.

Ten people were injured in all, including five children and the suspect.

A coroner on Tuesday identified the two who died as Eleanor McBride, of Huber Heights, and Penelope Jasko, of Dayton.

WHIO-TV reports that Dayton police Lt. Col. Eric Henderson says the suspect was fleeing officers Monday night when he crashed a car and jumped into a Riverside police SUV.

Henderson says police then got a call about a crash near the downtown Dayton library.

Police say the SUV crashed into at least two occupied vehicles.
