There was a woman pushing a stroller that got hit by the animal driving that van.
The interview that CP24 is doing with the guy in the car is heartbreaking.

Looks like they have called in Federal Security authorities and a country wide alert has gone out as well.

@txradioguy
Unbelievable, he went over the curb, hit people, went off the curb, got back over the curb to hit more people. Reported, he did this three times.

"Yuen said one suspect was in custody, the van had been located and all available resources had been mobilized to investigate the situation. Sources told CTV’s Mercedes Stephenson that the suspect is Alek Minassian."

Bald, not skin head.
I believe it will turn out to be intentional Islamic terror incident.

Minassian sounds like an Armenian surname.

"Bill Bratton, a former New York City police commissioner, told MSNBC that his sources said that driver was known to police and it was being considered a terrorist attack."
Maybe not Islamic, but still terrorist in nature.

Ten dead per Reuters:
