Authorities reported that the vehicle careered onto the street around 8.14pm on Saturday, ploughing into attendees of the Lapu Lapu Day festival. ‌ The nation's Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has since scrapped his first engagement on the last day of the election campaign before Monday's vote, confirmed that nine fatalities and 20 injuries occurred during the calamity last night.

Presently, footage making rounds on social media depicts a young individual donning a black hoodie pressed against a chain-link fence, adjacent to a security official, amidst a throng of people audibly expressing their anger at him. ‌ "I'm sorry," the man mutters, hand resting on his forehead. Mr Rai opted not to speak on the recording, but he disclosed that the apprehended individual is a "lone male" with prior recognition by police under certain conditions. Videos captured at the crime site exhibit the deceased and wounded along a constricted thoroughfare in South Vancouver, flanked by food stalls. ‌ Noticeably, the front end of the driver's SUV was significantly damaged, reports the Mirror. Witnesses at the scene were horrified as they recounted seeing "bodies everywhere" following what police confirmed was a car ramming attack. Yoseb Vardeh, who co-owns the food truck Bao Buns, spoke to Postmedia saying: "I got outside my food truck, I looked down the road and there's just bodies everywhere. ‌ "He went through the whole block, he went straight down the middle." Security guard Jen Idaba-Castaneto shared her experience with Vancouver Is Awesome: "You don't know who to help, here or there. It's so shocking." Meanwhile, PM Carney addressed the incident highlighting that an investigation is underway "to determine how and why this horrific attack occurred." ‌ Carney then revealed: "Authorities have confirmed one person is custody and it is believed they acted alone." The Vancouver Police Department has arrested a 30 year old man in connection with the crime, as confirmed by their Major Crime Section, which is currently heading the investigation. Dispelling fears, the department stated early Sunday morning, "At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism." ‌ In a statement, Mr Carney reassured the public that no further danger was anticipated: "Last night families lost a sister, a brother, a mother, father, son or a daughter. "Those families are living every family's nightmare," he said, visibly moved. "And to them and to the many others who were injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver, I would like to offer my deepest condolences." ‌ Vancouver's Mayor Kenneth Sim expressed his shock and sorrow over a tragic incident at the city's Lapu Lapu Day event in a social media post. "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific incident at today's Lapu Lapu Day event," he shared. "Our thoughts are with all those affected and with Vancouver's Filipino community during this incredibly difficult time." In 2021, the Canadian city was home to over 38,600 residents of Filipino descent, making up 5.9% of the total population, as per Statistics Canada, the body responsible for the national census. Lapu Lapu Day honours Datu Lapu-Lapu, an Indigenous leader who resisted Spanish explorers who arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century. ‌ The event's organisers, now in their second year, stated that it "represents the soul of native resistance, a powerful force that helped shape the Filipino identity in the face of colonisation." Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. extended his condolences to the victims and their families. "The Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver is working with Canadian authorities to ensure that the incident will be thoroughly investigated, and that the victims and their families are supported and consoled," he said.
