At least nine people are dead and a 30-year-old man is in police custody after allegedly driving into a street festival on Saturday night in Vancouver, Canada.
Thousands of Filipinos were gathered to celebrate Lapu-Lapu Day when a black SUV mowed into a crowd, injuring several and killing others, Reuters reported.
According to police, the driver was identified as a Vancouver man after he was chased down and stopped by festival attendees until police arrived.
Interim Vancouver police Chief Steve Rai said the suspect was known in “certain circumstances” by police and “everything is on the table” as they investigate the driver’s motive, the New York Post reported. Police added in an update, “At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism.”
