Suspect in fatal Vancouver street festival incident facing eight second-degree murder charges

Vancouver police say they’ve had interactions over mental health issues with the 30-year-old suspect in Saturday evening’s attack on a Filipino street festival in the city.

They’re ruling out terrorism.

A man drove his S-U-V through the crowds of people on a pedestrian-only street just as the event was wrapping up.

At least 11 people were killed, and police fear the toll could rise, with more than two-dozen others injured.

Vancouver’s police chief calls it the “worst day” in the city’s history.
