24 Apr 2018
A van drove onto a crowded sidewalk in Toronto's Yonge Street yesterday, killing 10 people and injuring 15.
The case hasn't been transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, hence the motive likely isn't terrorism.
But police said it "definitely looked deliberate."
The suspect, 25-year-old Alek Misassian, was previously known to authorities, officials said. He was nabbed 30 minutes after the breach.
