On April 26 in Vancouver, a terrible tragedy struck during a Filipino street festival. A man drove an SUV into a crowd, killing at least 11 people and injuring many others. The attack happened at the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party, a celebration of Filipino culture. Witnesses said the SUV first moved slowly through the crowd, then suddenly sped up, hitting dozens of people. The driver, 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo, was arrested at the scene and has been charged with murder. Police confirmed he has a history of mental health issues, but ruled out terrorism as a motive. People across Canada are mourning. Flags in Vancouver are flying at half-mast to honor the victims. The community is heartbroken, and questions are now being raised about mental health, safety, and how such tragedies can be prevented in the future.
