Firefighters stand near a covered body after a van struck multiple people at a major intersection northern Toronto, Ontario, on Monday. Alex Minassian, 25, identified by police as the suspect, will appear in a Toronto court at 10am EDT (1400 GMT), Toronto police said. The Canadian flag was lowered to half-staff at parliament and at Toronto city hall. The officer who apprehended Minassian was praised for making a peaceful arrest eve as the suspect shouted "Kill me" and claimed to have a gun. The attack shook the usually peaceful streets of Toronto, a multicultural city with a population of 2.8 million.
