Filipino Canadians are mourning an attack on their community, after a car plowed into a crowd at a street festival celebrating Filipino heritage in Vancouver on Saturday night killing at least 11 people, and injuring dozens more. A 30-year-old male suspect, identified as Kai-Ji Adam Lo, has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. The suspect, who was detained on the scene, had a history of mental health-related interactions with authorities, police said. Canadian Prime minister Mark Carney met with members of the Filipino community on Sunday, as people gathered to light candles and lay flowers for the victims at a memorial near the scene of the attack. Here’s what we know so far. Filipinos in south Vancouver had gathered for a community street party on Lapu Lapu Day, an event commemorating an Indigenous leader who fought against Spanish colonization of the Philippines.

As lawmakers demand answers over reports that the US military carried out a follow-up strike that killed survivors during an attacked on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a career Navy SEAL who has spent most of his 30 years of military experience in special operations will be responsible for providing them.
