Investigators quickly ruled out terrorism as a motive and said the suspect had a history of mental health issues.

VANCOUVER, BC — A 30-year-old man was charged with multiple counts of murder in the deaths of 11 people who were killed when a car careened into a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival in Vancouver, and mourners including the Canadian prime minister remembered the dead at vigils across the city.

Kai-Ji Adam Lo, 30, was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder in a video appearance before a judge Sunday, hours after he was arrested at the scene, said Damienne Darby, spokeswoman for British Columbia prosecutors. Lo has not yet entered a plea.

Thirty-two people were taken to hospitals, and 17 were still there late Sunday, including some in critical and serious condition, the British Columbia Health Ministry said.
