A van drove through pedestrians in Toronto. Some News Agencies say it's terror some don't specify. Law Enforcement have not ruled out terror being a motive. Nonetheless, a van has injured 8 - 10 people.

Heart goes out to Canada.

The suspect has been identified and is named Alek Minassian, he's 25 years old. Most likely to be of an Armenian descent, considering his surname is Armenian. I'm not expecting him to be Muslim considering his full name.

He was known to Law Enforcement in Toronto and may have researched the 2014 Isla Vista, California killing. 
Former NYC Police commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC that Minassian was previously known to authorities before the attack as a potential terror suspect.

There's not enough information about the suspect, his social media profiles such as this one https://www.linkedin.com/in/alek-minassian-240083157/ are not confirmed yet to be his, nor his Steam profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Xboxlightside/ but it's a possibility that this is his Steam profile.

His motives are unclear and unknown, but the reasons behind why he attack the pedestrians could be mental illness related. But at this moment it's too early to know for sure if it could be mental illness or he had any political motives. But what we do know is that ISIS are not taking credit or glorified his attack in their channels at all for hours, so ISIS is not related to the attack.

This has definitely hit waaay too close to home for me, considering it is only a short drive to the location. Heart goes out to the families. Such a shame really, tho the question remains, what was the motive?

I'm sure the victims and their families think different.

Indeed. On an outer prospect.

17th of May is Norway's national day.

Did you know that Denmark and Sweden owned Norway for many years.
One day in 1814 over 100 people met up at a place in Norway called ''Tinghuset/Courthouse'' there Norwegian, Danish and Swedish people gather up and made a country called Norway and finally Norway got their own constitution.

Happy Birthday!
