Terrorism ruled out as 11 are killed in Canada
April 28, 2025
|Western Daily Press
POLICE in Canada have ruled out terrorism in a car ramming that killed 11 people at a Filipino heritage festival in the city of Vancouver, saying the suspect has a history of mental health issues.
The vehicle entered the street where the Lapu Lapu Day festival was taking place just before 8.15pm local time on Saturday.
"An investigation is ongoing to determine how and why this horrific attack occurred. Authorities have confirmed one person is custody and it is believed they acted alone," Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, who cancelled his first campaign event on the final day of the election campaign ahead of today's vote, said yesterday.
A 30-year-old Vancouver man was arrested at the scene, and the local police department's Major Crime Section is overseeing the investigation. Police said early yesterday they were "confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism", and they later ruled out terrorism, saying the suspect has history of mental health issues.
