Global News:Several people have been killed and multiple others have been injured after a driver drove into a crowd at the
Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver on Saturday night.
Vanouver Police Department confirms that at least nine people are dead, including a child, and at least six others are injured.
Vancouver Police have yet to confirm exact numbers of injuries, saying in a midnight media conference that it would be unfair to speculate as the victims were taken to multiple hospitals in the region.
