Nine people have been killed and multiple others injured after the driver of a black SUV slammed into a crowd Saturday evening at a street festival in Vancouver celebrating the contributions of the Filipino Canadian community, police say.
It happened shortly after 8 p.m. PT, a few blocks from East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street, where the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party was winding down, after drawing up to 100,000 people through the day.
Interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai says a 30-year-old Vancouver man is now in custody.
In a statement read Sunday morning, Prime Minister Mark Carney said more than 20 people were injured.
Carney said Canadians are heartbroken at what “police are describing as a car-ramming attack” that happened during “an occasion to gather and to celebrate the vibrancy of the Filipino-Canadian community.”
For real.
For anyone reading this: in the lead up to the German election there was some supposedly Islamic terrorist attack pretty much every week and since the election back in February, which brought the conservative party into power, there has been nothing! Iirc it is now suspected that Russia caused these terror attacks to boost the rising far right fascist party and the pretty damn right conservative party and it worked. i hope Canada doesn’t fall for it
