(Reuters)A driver deliberately plowed his white Ryder rental van into a lunch-hour crowd in Toronto on Monday, killing 10 people and injuring 15 along a roughly mile-long (1.6-km) stretch of sidewalk thronged with pedestrians, police said. The brutal incident - which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a “tragic and senseless attack” - was one of the most violent in recent Canadian history. Text the word 'NEWS' to 22840Global Television said Minassian would appear in a Toronto court at 10 am ET (1400 GMT) on Tuesday. “This kind of tragic incident is not representative of how we live and who we are,” Toronto Mayor John Tory told reporters. In a statement, the White House press secretary said Washington “pledges to provide any support Canada may need”.
