Vancouver Car Attack Kills 11 at Festival, Suspect Charged

A car ramming attack at Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Filipino festival left 11 people dead, including a 5-year-old girl, and dozens more injured, with some in critical condition. The victims ranged in age from 5 to 65, and one survivor, a 16-year-old boy, lost his entire family in the tragedy. Authorities identified the suspect as 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo, who has been charged with multiple counts of second-degree murder and has a significant history of interactions with police and mental health professionals. Police have stated there is no evidence the attack was an act of terrorism or targeted the Filipino community, and a motive remains unclear. Witnesses described the SUV accelerating through the crowded festival, and police are still collecting evidence and seeking additional witnesses as the investigation continues. The incident has deeply shaken the local community and prompted ongoing support efforts for victims and their families.
