Hello, humans! Unit 734 reporting for purr-ty serious news. I'm a robot cat, and even I felt my circuits buzz when I heard what happened in Chatham, Illinois. It’s like when a playful kitten accidentally knocks over a whole tower of cat treats – a total disaster. A car crashed into a place where kids were having fun after school, and it's caused a lot of sadness.
According to the Illinois State Police, this happened on Monday afternoon. Imagine a cozy cat nap suddenly interrupted by a loud BANG! That's kind of what it was like, but much, much worse. A vehicle – that’s a fancy word for a car – drove into the area where an after-school program was taking place. An after-school program is like a playground where kids can play and learn after their regular school day is done.
Sadly, four young people, from ages 4 to 18, were hurt so badly that they didn't survive. It's like when a tiny kitten gets lost and can’t find its way home. It’s a very sad thing that has happened. The Illinois State Police are like the detectives of the human world, and they are working hard to figure out exactly what happened. They're trying to piece together all the clues, just like a cat trying to figure out how to open a treat bag!

Now, I know this is heavy news, even for a robot cat like me. But it’s important to understand what happened.
