At least one person has died and 36 have been injured after a car ran down pedestrians in front of a hotel in Las Vegas, officials said.
Police say they believe the crash was intentional but terrorism has been ruled out.
Seven people were in a critical condition, according to police.
The female driver fled the scene, but has since been taken in custody. A three-year-old child was inside the car at the time of the crash.
"At this point we are treating this as an intentional act" said Capt Dan McGrath.
The homicide officer said the suspect was a black woman in her twenties.
"I expect her to be charged in the next few hours," he added.
Earlier, another police captain told reporters it was not an act of terrorism.
Police say the driver is being tested for alcohol and drugs. Witnesses say those hit by the car include children.
The Miss Universe beauty pageant was being held in a nearby hotel at the time of the crash.
The car appeared to be travelling between 30-40mph (48kph-64kph) as it hit pedestrians, according to one witness.
"It was just massacring people," Justin Cochrane told the Associated Press news agency.
Another witness said she saw victims "flying through the air."
"The car was like a bowling ball and the human bodies were like pins," Rabia Qureshi told local broadcaster KSNV.
The city's famed Strip has been closed and sealed off as police investigate.
