First responders arrived at the scene after a vehicle crashed through the front of an Apple store in Massachusetts on Monday.

At least one person was killed in the incident and 14 people have been taken to local hospitals, with four of the victims in critical condition, according to local media. The vehicle was still lodged against the back wall of the store as of early afternoon, and Hingham police called for a tow truck to remove it.

"This morning was an unthinkable morning and people are trying to get through it and process what happened," Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz said at a news conference.

"This investigation is active and ongoing," he said, adding that a dark-colored SUV went through the store's plate-glass window and struck multiple people.
