Not a whole lot of information yet. A man, driving a rented Ryder van hit as many people as he could on Yonge Street (a very,very, very busy street) just after the lunch hour today. I believe they said he drove for almost a mile hitting people as he went.
The driver has been identified as 25 year old Alek Minassian of Richmond Hill, Ontario.
Why would someone do that???
Government officials briefed on the investigation so far say the suspect is not associated with any organized terrorist group and he does not represent a larger threat to national security.
