Witness say the van didn't stop after hitting people, kept going. Possibly 2 dead and many wounded. The van is a rental. Witness, blood all over the place , guy was lying there with his legs mushed.

5 Dead. Obviously a deliberate act. Very disturbing since anyone who wants to kill a bunch of people can do it with ease. RIP

Holy shit, I just came from close to that area (Don Mills & Finch). Heard it on the radio, they interrupted a song on an FM station for it which rarely happens.

I wonder what the motive was

I think it might have been an attempted suicide-by-cop after the fact, which failed.

Good thing they caught him alive

Where's Forcillo when you need him. :Eek: JK

9 Confirmed dead!

If I was that cop, I think I'd stay behind the cruiser until the perp dropped whatever he was holding. Which someone said was a cell phone.

Yes, because people in the middle-east never go bald :rolleyes:


Run to where?? Maybe he didnt have access to a firearm??


Making excuses for the religion of peace already, huh??

No excuses, he doesn't look like the typical hairy, bearded guy. Seems well dressed. If anything he could be a Iranian as they're more white than Arabs. A terrorist or a schizofrenic. Since the van was rented sounds more like something terrorists would do, we'll find out soon enough.

That means he will be set free after his psychiatrist decides
that chance of him killing again is slim. He will tell the doctor
those people killed were aliens.

Not quickly, the bus head chopper was locked up for years.
