What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the same basic police account: a truck drove onto a Kansas soccer field, leaving two people dead and multiple others injured. NBC News adds that one of the dead was a six-year-old boy and says ten others were hurt, including five children, while ABC News gives a slightly different injury count at 11 and notes the driver has not been charged. NBC News alone also says police described the driver as a woman and that she was cooperating.
