Police say a Vancouver man has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder after an SUV was driven into a crowd at a Filipino community festival Saturday evening, killing 11 people and injuring dozens more.

A teacher-counsellor whose wisdom and care changed lives has been identified as one of 11 people killed when a vehicle raced down a Vancouver street during a Filipino festival. Kira Salim was among those who died at the Lapu Lapu Day festival Saturday night, says a statement Monday from the superintendent at the New Westminster school district.

After ramming an SUV through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in the western Canadian city, Canadian prosecutors have charged Kai-Ji Adam Lo for killing 11 people.
