Toronto police say 10 people are dead and 15 injured after a rental van mowed through pedestrians along a busy Yonge Street on Monday afternoon, stopping for nothing: not people, not a bus shelter, not fire hydrants, not a mailbox. Standing ramrod straight, dressed in dark clothing, the man continued to point whatever he was holding at the officer. Monday night, Toronto police confirmed the suspect’s identity as Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, north of Toronto. He’s going 60-70 kilometres on the sidewalk.”John Flengas, acting supervisor of Toronto Emergency Medical Services, described the scene as “pure carnage” on CP24. “I would like to thank the person who saved my mother’s life today in front of Shoppers Drug Mart on Yonge Street at Madison,” Adams wrote.
