VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Vancouver police ruled out terrorism in a car ramming attack that killed 11 people at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city, saying the suspect has a history of mental health issues. Dozens of others were injured, some seriously, as the ramming shook the country before a federal election.

At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism,” the police department posted on Sunday.

Thousands of Filipinos in Vancouver were celebrating Lapu-Lapu Day on Saturday, marking a defining moment in Philippine history, when tragedy struck - a vehicle drove into the crowd killing multiple people and injuring others.
