"There was insufficient evidence to pursue terrorism charges," Marlin Degrand, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said at a press conference, adding: "The suspect was not deemed to pose a threat to Canada." The recovery of an Islamic State flag from one of the vehicles used in the attacks had led police to pursue the incidents as an act of terrorism. "Currently, it is believed four pedestrians were struck by the truck and transported to hospital with multiple injuries," it said. The chase ended when the suspect lost control of the truck, which flipped onto its side. "Terrorism is about creating panic and disrupting people’s lives," he said, adding that Edmontonians would "rise above hatred and division."
