You're wrong. Look at a dictionary. It refers to death OR injury in a war or accident.

Apple Store in Greater Boston Area Struck by Vehicle, Several Casualties Reported

Ignore the trolls, everyone... it just feeds them. We all know people like this, they thrive on the reactions.
Looks like a horrible accident for now. Having worked in a few Apple Stores, this really hits closer to home. And right before Thanksgiving as well.
One of my initial thoughts was maybe someone rammed the store to steal merchandise. But seeing as the car went in head first (I think thieves usually go rear first so as to make it easier to get away) and went all the way to the back (again, I think they'd more usually stay close to the front of the store), it seems more like it could be mistaking the pedals or a medical condition as others have mentioned.

Problem is all current articles I read leave out Why. Was it deliberate or health issue or mechanical? Was another vehicle involved that knocked them into the store?
My local Apple Store is in an outdoor mall as well, it is the only store with bollards.
Someone has died, and you want to make jokesSomeone upset with the Genius bar "repair" estimate?
Doesn't apple make self-driving electric cars also?
So sad multiple people hurt while in the store. How in the heck was the driver doing such a speed in a parking lot?
Too many reasons to list for that to happen.
A friend's mom of mine was driving in the fire lane at a Walmart. She inadvertently hit her accelerator when she tried to brake. Ended up flipping her SUV and the SUV was impaled by one of the poles outside the store's doors missing her head and shoulder by mere inches. She only needed about 20 feet of distance to attain enough speed to end up in that situation so breaking through a glass storefront and most likely wooden tables to end up in the back of the store is not unrealistic.
show yourself out, and don't come back
Sheesh this is sad news. It definitely appears to be an attack based on the way the parking lot is designed. I can't see this being accidental, although anything is possible, but the location of the impact looks like the driver had to deliberately line themselves up.
There is seriously a major mental health crisis in the U.S. that needs to be addressed...

I get what you're saying with the "main take-away" comment.
But a lot of people have more "take-aways" from an incident and may choose to post about one that crosses their mind. It doesn't mean they don't have any empathy or compassion for those involved as that is what you were insinuating.
Probably standard procedure to open a criminal investigation, but if the driver wasn’t hospitalized, they probably weren’t having a medical incident.

Driver charged in deadly crash at Apple Store in Hingham held on $100K bail
The driver of an SUV that barreled through the front of an Apple Store in Hingham on Monday, killing one person and injuring 19 others, has been arrested in connection with the chaotic crash.
The driver is reported to be at the police station speaking with police. It doesn't say he was taken to the hospital.

What would they sue Apple for?
Apple probably does not own the property and it would probably be the owner's onus to have these installed as a security measure.
You're right. I just hope they had Applecare...
must be a bug introduced in iOS 16
My best guess would be full throttle with no attempt to brake or swerve
Hopefully a prototype AR Pro headset wasn't involved
Taking a life and endangering other’s for an iPhone 🤷♀, the world has gone barking mad. Most definitely a deliberate “drive in”🙁
It just becomes something for lawyers and insurance companies to hash out. Any lawsuits filed will just be the mechanism needed to get them talking.
As a former Genius working at an Apple store with an outdoor store like this, this is terrifying. Wishing the best for all involved.
They are designing them. Unlike other companies, they won't hit the market until they are safe.
driver is probably an apple hater who hates apple so much they have to destroy the store
