Update via the Wall Street Journal: Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, was charged with murder in the deaths of 11 people. More than two dozen were injured. Lo was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder on Sunday night. The charges are ongoing. The suspect is mentally ill and is known to police. Mayor Ken Sim said mental health is the underlying issue.
The murderer was captured by the attendees and held until the police arrived.

It is a horrific tragedy.
The Original Story
Multiple people were killed [currently at 11] and injured [dozens] when a driver plowed into a crowd at a street Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver, Canada, Saturday night, police said.
The driver was in custody following the crash on East 41st Ave. and Fraser Street shortly after 8:14 p.m. local time, the Vancouver Police Department said in a post on X.
Police did not immediately provide a possible motive at the Philippine event, but have identified the suspect as a 30-year-old man from Vancouver.

In an update past midnight, Vancouver police said, “At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism.”
Yoseb Vardeh, the co-owner of a food truck that was stationed at the festival, told the Vancouver Sun, a Canadian news outlet, that he heard an engine revving before a speeding truck drove straight down the middle of a pedestrian-only area flanked by food trucks and people on both sides.
If Vardeh is accurate, the driver revved up and then sped into the crowd.
Sentinel can’t verify that the first clip is the driver.

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, who spoke at the festival, said he was “horrified to learn of an incident at Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day celebrations that injured and killed innocent people.”
“As we wait to learn more, our thoughts are with the victims and their families — and Vancouver’s Filipino community, who were coming together today to celebrate resilience,” he added.
Mentally challenged Asian male? Aren’t they all? Something in the water I think.
And there it is…….
VPD Interim Chief Steve Rai confirmed that a 30-year-old Vancouver man is in custody. Rai says the suspect is “known to police in certain circumstances.”
“We have some knowledge of interactions. It would be unfair and inappropriate to the investigation and to a proper conclusion for the investigation if I taint it with any details right now,” he said.

Another f*cking “mentally challenged” illegal alien goes nuts – as if we’re supposed to pity him. Unfortunately, this rat wasn’t so stupid that he didn’t know how to drive a car. This is what you get with liberal government.
MENTALLY CHALLENGED, ISN’T THAT WHAT THEY CALL ISLAMIC TERRORIST IN THE EU WHEN THEY DO THE SAME VEHICLE ATTACK????
Time served and an ankle bracelet. Just don’t do this again, son. We might have to yell at you.
Notice the race identification in the article. I wonder if the perp was a mooselimb, a hood rat, or a tranny if the race would have been mentioned. NOT
Vancouver is perhaps even further to the left than its neighbor to the south, Seattle…if that is possible. I live less than 75 miles from both of these hell-hole cities but no amount of money could make me visit either of them.
“At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism.”
Uh huh. Yeah, I’d give this the 72 hour rule, because even if it was, they’re not going to say it.
