A Vancouver festival turned tragic as Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, drove an SUV through a crowd, resulting in numerous casualties. At least 11 people, aged 5 to 65, lost their lives, and many more were injured during the Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party celebrating Filipino heritage, officials confirmed on Sunday. Lo was apprehended by local police at the scene and has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. The incident, which remains under investigation, is not currently considered an act of terrorism, according to authorities familiar with Lo's history of mental health issues. Global condolences poured in as Canada's Prime Minister and British Columbia leaders expressed solidarity with the victims' families, emphasizing community resilience. The tragedy raises questions about safety measures at public events, especially as tensions heighten in the lead-up to national elections. (With inputs from agencies.)
