Vancouver car attack: Suspect has 'significant history of mental health issues'

Vancouver police have ruled out terrorism after a car ramming attack that killed at least 11 people at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city. 'I am able to say that the person we have in custody does have a significant history of interactions with police related to mental health,' said Steve Rai from the Vancouver police. A man driving a black Audi SUV entered the street just after 8 pm on Saturday and struck people attending the Lapu Lapu Day festival. A 30-year-old Vancouver man was arrested at the scene. Canadian prime minister Mark Carney expressed his 'deepest condolences' and sent his wishes for strength and compassion to those affected. Other officials could barely speak as the extent of the tragedy shook the Vancouver community.
