A deadly car-ramming attack during a Filipino heritage festival in Vancouver has resulted in 11 deaths and numerous injuries. Suspect Kai-Ji Adam Lo, facing eight counts of second-degree murder, has a history of mental health issues, with terrorism ruled out as a motive. The community and leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, expressed profound shock and sorrow over the incident, which occurred shortly before a national election. Investigators revealed the ages of victims ranged from five to 65, illustrating the tragedy's wide-reaching impact.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who was heading to the scene on Sunday, said that attack, which came just two days ahead of a national election, had left the country shocked, devastated and heartbroken.
Vancouver's police chief, Steve Rai, described the carnage as the darkest day in the city's history and told reporters it was impossible to overstate how many lives have been impacted for ever by the lone driver.
