Ten people were killed when a van drove into a crowd on a sidewalk in Toronto, Ontario. Sixteen more were injured, according to the Toronto Star.
A white van left the curb in a busy pedestrian area of Toronto around 1:30 pm, and drove into the crowd. The incident happened at the corner of Yonge and Finch Avenue. The driver of the van is in police custody.
“Our hearts go out to anyone affected,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa.
Anne Marie D’Amico is one of the victims of the tragedy, the Star is updating other victims names as they are released here. They include Dorothy Sewell, 80, Renuka Amarasinghe, 48, Jordanian citizen Munir Najjar, and chef Chul Min “Eddie” Kang. D’Amico is described as ‘one of the most genuine, kind and all-around loving people that you probably have ever met.’
