Multiple dead and injured as driver plows into Vancouver crowd, police say

A man was charged with murder by police after a car crashed into a crowd at a festival in Vancouver, British Columbia, killing 11 people and injuring many others. Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, faces eight counts of second-degree murder, according to Vancouver police. Authorities indicated that additional charges are likely. The suspect, a Vancouver resident with a history of mental illness, was recognized by law enforcement. Mayor Ken Sim suggested mental health might be a significant factor in the incident. Victims ranged from 5 to 65 years old and included various genders, according to Steve Rai, Vancouver’s interim police chief. Over two dozen individuals sustained injuries, with some in critical condition. The attack took place during a Filipino cultural celebration, with a vehicle crashing into food trucks on a pedestrian mall street. The suspect was apprehended by festival attendees and handed over to the police. The incident prompted an outpouring of support, with a community gathering and vigil planned for Sunday evening in Vancouver.
