"The victims are being transported to several hospitals, it would not be fair to the families to talk about the number of dead or injured," he said.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said: "I am devastated by the news of the horrific events at the Lapu-Lapu festival in Vancouver earlier this evening."
The tragedy occurred shortly after 8:00 p.m. local time near East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street, where a Lapu-Lapu Day festival was being held in honor of the Philippine national hero. /Telegraph/
