Murder Charges In Vancouver Street Festival Attack

CTV News reports:

Murder charges have been laid against the man accused of driving an SUV into a crowd celebrating at a Filipino community street festival Saturday. The attack killed 11 people, the youngest of whom was only five years old.

The suspect, 30-year-old Vancouver resident Kai-Ji Adam Lo, has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Charge assessment is ongoing and police expect more to be approved.

Lo was charged Sunday morning and remains in custody. The Vancouver Police Department provided an update on the devastating incident Sunday, calling it the “darkest day in our city’s history.” At a news conference later in the afternoon, police said the people who died were between the ages of five and 65.

Read the full article. Police say the suspect is “seriously mentally ill with a history of paranoia and delusions.” They also say that he has a “significant history of interactions with police and mental health professionals.” The cult, predictably, is blaming the attack on the Liberal Party.
