00:00This is the darkest day in our city's history. Last night, as thousands of
00:05members of Vancouver's Filipino community gathered for an important
00:09cultural celebration, the actions of a single person shattered our collective
00:15sense of safety. It's impossible to overstate how many lives have been impacted
00:20forever by this lone individual. There are many unanswered questions about why
00:26this horrific crime happened, the motive of the person who did it, and whether
00:33anything could have been done to prevent it. There are many things we still don't
00:37know, but we are working hard to get all of the answers. Shortly after eight last
00:43night, Saturday April 26th, a man driving a black Audi SUV drove into a large crowd
00:51of people at the Lapu-Lapu Street Festival in South Vancouver. This festival, which is
00:58a celebration of Filipino community and culture, had been taking place all day in
01:03and around the grounds of a school located at 41st and Fraser Street. It was
01:10expected that tens of thousands of people would attend throughout the day. Although
01:15it was scheduled to wrap up at 8 p.m., there were still many people in the area
01:21when the incident occurred. The vehicle that struck festival goers approached the
01:26festival area from the west on East 43rd Avenue. It entered a small crowd and
01:33closed area and drove through the crowd. There were hundreds of festival goers still on
01:40the street and multiple people were struck by the vehicle. There are now 11
01:47confirmed fatalities. We believe dozens more are injured, some seriously, and the
01:57number of dead could rise in the coming days or weeks.
02:27people would have been killed in the coming days in the entire city.
02:29people would have been killed.
02:33people would have taken place all day long and敵ers and the upcoming
02:35hours when they needed to be killed at a tourist stop .
02:37people of the time should be killed.
02:39they would have been killed and killed by the actual crowd.
02:40but they would have been killed by the fact that the other true crowd
02:43and the other people they don't have done.
02:45people of the time and the most of them have been killed by the public
02:48the kids in an unexpected future and they don't have to play at least
02:53big a lot of time for the couple of years.
