| SUV drives through Lapu Lapu Day Festival - Multiple Casualties
Just heard from friends that a man drove through bystanders at a street festival in Vancouver.
Multiple dead, many injured.
Apparently man is in custody.
I can't find any news about it. https://vancouversun.com/news/police...y-in-vancouver Quote:
Vancouver police and paramedics are at the scene of a possible collision near Fraser Street and 43rd Avenue where the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party was taking place today.
Reports online say that a group of pedestrians was struck by a vehicle that drove into a crowd at the event. These reports have not been confirmed by police or emergency services at this time.

There's a bunch of video on twitter if you search Vancouver.

Apparently at least 15 casualties from what I heard.
My condolences if you know any of the victims.

More likely a coincidence since it aligns with the beginning of large outdoor events but maybe some sort of correlation with the person kind of copycatting. Code orange at the hospitals now. This is very bad.

My GF and I talked about going here but it didn't work out. Who expects this?
The global Filipino community will come together. They are the most empathetic people I know.

I don’t get it, flips are the nicest, friendliest, most family oriented asians in the world. It’s unthinkable that anyone would hold a grudge against them.
This guy needs to die. Right fucking now. No trial, no jury, execution right now.

I heard the street wasn’t blocked off by police or closed off. I thought they usually block the streets off with police cars for these kind of events.

Witnesses called into CBC and said the vehicle was let in. It was driving slowly initially but it sideswiped a pedestrian and then it went full throttle into the crowd. Looks like the kid had a senior moment, panicked and hit the wrong pedal?
They said they were letting cars in all day to pack/unpack their booths.

A suspect has been arrested by Vancouver Police after several people were killed and multiple others injured at a neighbourhood street party in South Vancouver earlier tonight.

A 30-year-old suspect, a Vancouver man, was arrested at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and is being led the Vancouver Police Department’s Major Crime Section.

I remember since the Toronto Van attack, all the public street activities in Vancouver such as fireworks had huge dump trucks parked on the street to act as barriers. Didn't they have any at the event tonight?

They said they were letting cars in all day to pack/unpack their booths. | I saw a video of the guy being confronted after he was arrested, and he just kept saying sorry. I don't think it was an intentional terror attack. Just a random dipshit ruining many lives

Also, the festival already had threats against the black performers.
Was this a far-right, anti-woke Filipino guy? Before you get mad at me read the link: https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/0...-black-racism/ | |

Fking horrific and so close to home. RIP to all the victims.
According to the VPD, the suspect was known to them. They didn’t give details but did say it wasn’t a terrorist attack. I bet this guy will claim to be mentally ill, get bail, and roam the streets again.

| SUV drives through Lapu Lapu Day Festival - Fraser & 41st - Multiple Casualties
At least nine people are dead because of that driver. Horrific news!! https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/0...r-plows-crowd/
Many kids witnessed the driver on that rampage.
Poor kids. Many traumatized children after this horrific incident.
This is the suspect in police custody: https://x.com/x_scribe/status/1916357710351942043?s=46

And if they don't show up, they'd be violating bail conditions, which means grounds for arrest.

Sometimes it's far too short, sometimes it's forever.
