Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim to provide update on Lapu-Lapu Day response

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim will provide an update Wednesday on the response to the Lapu-Lapu Day festival tragedy that killed 11 people and injured dozens more over the weekend.

He will be joined by acting Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai.

On Saturday evening, as the festival was wrapping up in the area of Fraser Street and East 43rd Avenue, an SUV was driven into a crowd of people. Those killed ranged in age from five to 65.

Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, has since been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder.
