The death toll from the attack on a festival in Vancouver, Canada, has risen to 11. Dozens more have been injured, some seriously. The suspected perpetrator, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, a resident of the city, is now facing eight charges of second-degree murder, the BBC reports. 

Authorities do not rule out the possibility that the number of charges could increase, due to the growing number of victims and critically injured. According to preliminary investigations, Lo was known to the police and mental health institutions, but there is no evidence that the incident had extremist or terrorist motives. 

The incident occurred at around 8:14 p.m. local time at the intersection of East 43rd Avenue and Fraser Street, south of Vancouver, where thousands of people, including many families and children, had gathered to celebrate a Filipino festival. 

Witnesses described scenes of chaos and panic, with many people lying on the ground while others tried to help. "It was terrifying... I saw dozens of people injured, people crying, screaming," said Abigail Andiso, a resident of the area.

As citizens began laying flowers at the scene, the city's Filipino community was in mourning. "This event will leave deep scars for many years," said RJ Aquino, a representative of the Filipino BC organization.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney canceled campaign rallies and visited the site of the tragedy on Sunday evening, where he lit a candle and stood in silence with community members. He also met with family members of the victims and attended a memorial service.

The festival is attended by tens of thousands of people, one of the largest events for the Filipino community in Canada. At the site of the attack, there were no physical barriers to protect the crowds, a fact that has already sparked discussions about safety at public events.
