9 Dead in Van Incident in Toronto
A white rental van ploughed into pedestrians in the North York area of Toronto. It is being reported that 9 people are dead and 16 injured.
The driver has been arrested. 9 dead, 16 injured after white van strikes pedestrians in North York | CBC News We have noticed recently concrete barriers (Jersey Barriers) around the Rogers Centre stadium/CN Tower/Aquarium/Air Canada Centre/Maple Leaf Square and speculated that the powers that be must have had some sort of tip off. Perhaps they were just being prudent as the tourist season approaches. :unsure: |

Looks like the suspect was hoping for a suicide by cop ending. Not in Canada you won't.

Re: 9 Dead in Van Incident in Toronto
Based on the cops reaction in the video, I suppose the cop could tell it wasn't a gun? I cannot tell what the individual was holding, but seems if it were a gun the cop would have taken some cover.
Those folks walking down the street seem awfully calm as well. |

Re: 9 Dead in Van Incident in Toronto
Tragic, but not a great surprise. Canada has been comparatively fortunate to date. It was not a case of if, but when...takes incidents like this to make our politicians etc, wake up and smell the coffee. What a terrible waste, needless, heartfelt sympathies to all concerned. As for the cop involved can only assume, for whatever reason he did not see perpetrator as an immediate threat on facing him down. I always have believed that better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. If in doubt, take him out. Worked out well....this time.

CBC News has confirmed that the man arrested after a rental van rammed a number of pedestrians near a busy intersection in Toronto is Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill. According to his LinkedIn page he's a student as Seneca College.
It's tragic, whatever the reason behind it. Those poor people and their families. :cry_smile: |
