A driver used a bag of popcorn to lure a flock of seagulls in a parking lot Saturday before running them over, killing 10 before driving off, police said.

Laurel police said the driver bought a bag of popcorn from a Dollar Tree store and emptied it in the parking lot sometime between 9 and 10:30 a.m.

The driver, whom police have not released a description of, then ran over the birds and left.

Police are asking for help to identify the driver.
