Police: Canada car attack suspect had mental health issues, 11 dead  The suspect in a Canadian car-ramming attack that left 11 dead at a Filipino street party acted deliberately and had a history of mental health problems, police say, warning the toll could rise. No motive has been confirmed for the Saturday evening attack in the western city of Vancouver, though terrorism was ruled out by police. "This is the darkest day in our city's history," says Vancouver Police interim police chief Steve Rai.

00:00This is the darkest day in our city's history. Last night, as thousands of

00:05members of Vancouver's Filipino community gathered for an important

00:09cultural celebration, the actions of a single person shattered our collective

00:15sense of safety. It's impossible to overstate how many lives have been impacted

00:20forever by this lone individual. There are many unanswered questions about why

00:26this horrific crime happened, the motive of the person who did it, and whether

00:33anything could have been done to prevent it. There are many things we still don't

00:37know, but we are working hard to get all of the answers. Shortly after eight last

00:43night, Saturday April 26th, a man driving a black Audi SUV drove into a large crowd

00:51of people at the Lapu-Lapu Street Festival in South Vancouver. This festival, which is

00:58a celebration of Filipino community and culture, had been taking place all day in

01:03and around the grounds of a school located at 41st and Fraser Street. It was

01:10expected that tens of thousands of people would attend throughout the day. Although

01:15it was scheduled to wrap up at 8 p.m., there were still many people in the area

01:21when the incident occurred. The vehicle that struck festival goers approached the

01:26festival area from the west on East 43rd Avenue. It entered a small crowd and

01:33closed area and drove through the crowd. There were hundreds of festival goers still on

01:40the street and multiple people were struck by the vehicle. There are now 11

01:47confirmed fatalities. We believe dozens more are injured, some seriously, and the

01:57number of dead could rise in the coming days or weeks.

02:27people would have been killed in the coming days in the entire city.

02:29people would have been killed.

02:33people would have taken place all day long and敵ers and the upcoming

02:35hours when they needed to be killed at a tourist stop .

02:37people of the time should be killed.

02:39they would have been killed and killed by the actual crowd.

02:40but they would have been killed by the fact that the other true crowd

02:43and the other people they don't have done.

02:45people of the time and the most of them have been killed by the public

02:48the kids in an unexpected future and they don't have to play at least

02:53big a lot of time for the couple of years.
