Unprecedented Tragedy in Toronto

10 people are dead and 15 injured after what appears to be a terrorist attack in Toronto yesterday afternoon. It was one of the first beautiful spring days of the season and a busy area of the city was filled with pedestrians. This rented van ploughed through people on a sidewalk, an unreal situation.  The 25 year old (terrorist?) was apprehended in a dramatic takedown. The brave cop really kept his cool and did not shoot the perpetrator.  Sending prayers to the victims of this unprecedented tragedy.

What is interesting is that as the tragedy unfolded, I was in  touch with family members in England and the U.S.  They seemed to know more details than I did at the time.  Thanks to my blog friends for your kind thoughts.

These demented fools who try to kill innocent people who don't agree with them. Condolences for the victims and their families.

Christine, I have no clue what the world is coming to. While this was happening Toronto, here in Nashville, 30 mins from home 160 some odd police, ATF, Drug enforcement, FBI etc were searching for the Waffle House Killer, a 29 yr old man that walked in to a Waffle House and started shooting. He killed 4 people, one still in the hospital might lose her leg, she also lost her boyfriend that shielded her from being killed. I am not sure what type of world we are living in these days or what type my grandson's will grow up in. While watching the news about our killer being located in the woods I hear about this "guy" in the van that plows down people on the street. Its so sad.

It's not evil. It is disturbed. It is sad for everyone involved. Someone that sick doesn't have a filter.
