A suspect has been charged with multiple counts of murder and police are continuing their investigation after 11 people were killed when an SUV plowed through a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival in Vancouver over the weekend.

At least 11 people were killed when a man drove through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in Vancouver on Saturday evening, Canadian police said.

In the days after a motorist drove into a crowd at a Filipino festival in Vancouver, killing 11, Toronto's Filipino community has banded together in solidarity and grief, including two people who left the festival just before the incident.
